In the past few days I've been remembering all those softball games, poker parties, and jam sessions - we had some fun, didn't we. I'm sorry that we lost touch with each other these past few years.

It's been a long time, but I' so sorry about your loss of Craig. I know how much you loved him. I was also sorry to hear that you had lost Em.

Long will his music live...whether his slow, soul-searching midnight jams or thrash and trash rock and roll so bad he'd break strings on his guitar, Craig kept the music going. He was a helluva carpenter, no job was too big for him. He worked hard and loved his family. Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stayed this courier from the swift completion of his...
