Rest in peace Charlie Craig. God bless Charlie Craig. He served his community, family and god for almost 94 years.Charlie liked to joke around as much as he liked to eat. His tireless pursuit of perfection was both an inspiration and a challenge for us. He taught me more than just landscaping. He set an example for hard work and family responsibility.
