Jim and the Carlson family- My deepest sympathies to you all. I'm so glad that I got the chance to meet Craig, even if only once, when I learned from Jim that he worked here at Baird. He was helpful and kind and genuine, just like his Dad. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all during this difficult time.
