Craig D. Sandgren

I've lost a good friend and a trusted colleague. So many times over the past 25 years, I've gone to Craig for advice on aquatic biology, from the subcellular to the ecological. Professionally, Craig's greatest legacy is the long parade of students whose lives he so greatly influenced. He took them places they never would have gone, and taught them things they never would have known. I miss my friend. I can't fill Craig's shoes, but I hope to do what I can to follow his example.

God bless you Doc. Thank you for the mornings of chocolate milk and donuts, times at the Kemp field station, on Lake Michigan, buried in the lab, supporting my work...and in the years after leaving, for the coffee, breakfasts, and conversations about life and careers. Maria and Kirsten...He really loved you both and lit up anytime the conversation turned your way. My deepest sympathies for you loss.

Dear Maria and Kirsten,
One of my fondest memories of Craig was when we first moved to Milwaukee, we all would go contra dancing at the VFW on Wilson. I remember a moment where Maria and Chuck were playing music and Craig and I were dancing partners. Those were such great times. We will always remember Craig fondly.

Maria & Kirsten, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers.
