There is nothing else to add to these wonderful messages, other than, I can't wait to hang out with you for eternity in Heaven. Truly one of the nicest people I've ever known.
Love you, brother.

I first met Craig at a Budweiser World Records Breakers Meet in Washington. We couldn’t have been more different. I was a bodybuilder. We hung out the night before the meet. I ate chicken and rice. Craig are a bucket of KFC chicken legs. He introduced me to his PIP diet (Pizza/Ice Cream/Pepsi) I had to lift at the same time as Craig. He went after me. I was best lifter in a meet of 240 guys. Craig beat every one of my lifts by 130 lbs. He got his 703 and beat Anthony Clark.
We have been friends since. Over 30 years. The last year has been great because we got to hang out since I actually lived here. He has always been there. Miss you brother!

The first time I ever heard the name Craig Tokarski was when I was a youngster on Willow Springs Police. People would speak of this big huge cop on McCook who benches over 700 pounds! I was like damn this guy must be a beast! The first time I met Craig was doing security at UPS for ODI. When I first met him he came off intimidating due to his size but immediately realized he was nothing but a big teddy bear! I then joined McCook and had the pleasure to work with one of the best shifts ever alongside Craig, Tim, Carlo, and Mark. I enjoyed coming into work due to the daily Craig and Carlo show which made work fun and entertaining!! We all found a bond with each other due to the fact you end up spending more time with your co workers than family. I will always consider Craig as family and it was my honor to have the privilege to work with him. I will definitely miss you big daddy!! You are one of the best guys I ever met and I will never forget all the fun times we shared! Love you bro!!

I met Craig 35 years ago when he was hired by Justice P.D. We hit it off right away and became great friends. Craig was one of kind, from his many different made up dances, to the PIP diet (pizza/ice cream/pepsi) to his famous impression of Arnold Schwartznegar and many others. If we were at work, hanging out, having pizza together, or just talking on the phone, before we parted I can guarantee we shared a laugh. Usually lots of laughs. I will miss Craig. I loved Craig. God bless him and may he rest in peace.

What a guy. What a friend. And oh boy What an appetite. I've only known craig for a dozen years or so when I worked at the Max. He would have to stop by daily as part of his work routine and being neither one of us had a buzy schedule we talked a lot since he was doing real estate and I was still doing mortgages. We had a common bond. He loved his Gina and all the kids.i remember Carlo and Tim Scott all stopping by in the summer months when I had nothing going on and just joking and laughing. My favorite was Carlo calling him " you fat fuck" and craig calling him a midget. Craig told Carlo he would put him on his knee and Carlo be the puppet. I never laughed so hard. I knew of his family's longevity and we talked about why he would constantly stay in shape.it worried him but he remained positive. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU As I'm sure he is. LOVE YOU BROTHER
