Craig Tenke Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Craig Tenke, PhD, a brilliant neuroscientist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, passed away on December 19th, 2017. Craig's research was devoted to electrophysiology and the scientific method. He was also a caring husband, father, and grandfather whose life was deeply rooted in the community of Center Moriches, Long Island.
Craig's grace and kindness has touched the lives of countless people in innumerable ways, and he will be dearly missed.
Craig is survived by his wife, Jo-Ann, his two daughters Liz and Connie, and his grandchildren, who he was helping support and who are living in the family home. All proceeds in his honor will go to his family. We are forever grateful to have had him with us.

"He was brilliant, kind, and had a sense of humor with an absurdity that could only be found in the likes of Monty Python." - sentiment of Chris Kroppmann, formerRA
"... it’s hard to accept that I won’t be running into him anymore. We’d cut up like two little kids seeing who could make the other laugh the hardest. Last I saw him was on the 6th floor had to be no more than three or four weeks ago and we did our usual Abbott and Costello bit and briefly caught up on our personal lives." - Malarie Mitchell, former administrative staff to the Psychophysiology Lab

I live here now.
I used to just visit for the change,
but I never would have guessed how
much I’m needed here.
But now that I’ve already moved in,
I think I’ll go back home
... Just for the change.
