Our deepest sympathy to Dan and Joan and the Lefeld family. Craig always greeted us with a big smile and lighthearted conversation. He was always helpful no matter what our need was and was very appreciative of our business. When he waited on you it made the day brighter.

I forgot one important thing, I introduced Craig to my friend Eric Swarts, Corey Pavins caddie. Eric came to Coldwater for a visit and took Craig out golfing. Craig was so excited about all of it. I’m glad I gave him the opportunity to meet a person that’s upfront and all about golf.
