Craig was not my father but I thought of him as my dad. Cindy Katie and I grew up together. I remember Craig smoking his cherry flavored tobacco in his pipe. He liked scary movies and we would all get on the floor in the dark and watch. Of course he would enjoy scaring us everytime. Every family vacation they took I got to go along. San Diego, Disneyland, Sea World, Prescott, Idaho, Yellowstone Park. When we drove to Idaho he let us play the REO Speed Wagon tape over and over. He couched our softball team every summer. Wow what partys we had! I love you DAD (Craig) you will live in my heart forever. Everytime I see a bee I know you are around me. R.I.P and Ill meet you on the other side!!
