Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind, sometimes its something funny we shared and I see something that reminds me of the time we had. Sometimes I look at a problem for a few min and think what would Hammer do? You have touched so many peoples lives that its hard not to drive around Rochester all these years later and say, me and Craig did that, or I remember when Craig put that up, and with those words always lead to a story sometimes funny, sometimes not so funny. In life you hope that you will leave your mark on the place you call home and for me its seeing all his work still standing. I am always proud to say my uncle did that. Craig always fancied himself a Picasso, he said "Kid, I might only be using one color today but this is my canvas". 100 years from now people will know of him because he always signed his work, you just have to know where to look.
Miss you Uncle Hammer
Love always Nail.
