Craig, I'm so Sorry to hear this, My Thoughts & Prayers go out to you & Your Family.

Deanne,

I'm happy that he made out of the surgery and I'm sure he'll have time for you and us here, a lot of it. It doesn't mean how much worst things are they after a storm there is always a sunny day coming. This will not be different.

We all know how much you are bonded to him and he has all his friends praying for him and suporting. After all I've to go to Australia someday to visit us. You know sooner or later I'll be on the doorstep.

Get better fast Craig "Outrider" Anderson!!!

Deanne,

I am very sad to hear things didn't go as planned, I hope that he will be comfortable, and hope that your time spent together will be very special for you both.

Craig,
you have been such an inspiration to me, and I know many others on this site, to the point we should almost call this place Outriderdios.com, it's hard to put into words the respect I have for you as an artist and a person. You are a outstanding human being, and it has been a great honor to know you via this site, and a common interest in old toys. God bless you both.

i hoping things get better. I'm praying for y'all

May your faith sustain you and your family. I didn't know you well, but your character and decency really came through your posts. I am not exaggerating when I say that I looked forward to seeing your photos on a daily basis. You have become an inspiration to so many on this board and beyond. Godspeed . . .

I just want to let you know that you & your Family are in my Prayers,and I'm hoping with everything I got that things turn for the better.You are the One person that inspired me to try my hand at taking Pic's of my Joe's,and just about all of the little Custom touches to my Figures have been taken straight from looking at what you did to your's.I'm So glad that I got to know you,and can call you My Friend.And as all the others have said,"you Are and will continue to be an Inspiration to all of us Joe Fans Worldwide for MANY MANY Years to come!And your Fantastic Pic's will be the Standard by which all Joe Pic's will be Judged for Many Years to come also,and theres no doubt you & your Pic's will go down in Joe History.You are the MAN Craig,and I'll be Praying for you to get Well Soon!!!! :) All my Love & Prayers,your Friend from West Virginia,Larry... :)

I hate hearing stuff like this Happen :( I hope for a Miracle man , there have been times when Doctors can be wrong, and I hope that the diagnosis for the time you have left is totally wrong and that you last "A Lot Longer" then what they have predicted .

wishing for the best sir,

My Thoughts & Prayers go out to you & Your Family !

i'm sorry i haven't been posting like i used too, but hearing this brings sadness to my heart. in all my years of forum and internet posting, none have been more welcoming than you guys here on this site. through out my days of taking photos, watching people like outrider was my main source of inspiration.if things go to the worst, i'll live happily that i knew Mr. Craig. live life to it's fullest, day by day. don't live in hate, anger, or sadness, because life is too short. may God be with you, and thanks for all the great times my friend.
