Craig,
You were like a big brother to me. I remember looking up to you to see if I was "cool" and what I was doing wrong if I wasn't. I remember once you and your friends tried to bully me and josh around and we put up enough of a fight for you guys to leave. I never told your dad about you giving my dad and I the wood from your ramp for my ramp. I remember you well and wish you fair winds and following seas.
Josh & Sheila,
I am so sorry. I remember looking up to craig...
