This is what I remember about my brother Craig:
As a child he enjoyed subjects like mathematics and chemistry, and collected fossils and rocks. Craig always had an interest in art, and once wanted to be an artist. He created pencil and charcoal drawings up through his early twenties.
Later, he became interested in architectural design. He enrolled in an architecture program and was working toward a degree but work and life circumstances took him away from his studies.
He enjoyed reading literature and fiction, having read almost all of Shakespeare's works, to give just one example. He once told me that when he retired he wanted to spend his time reading history.
He developed an early interest at age 15 in consciousness exploration and Eastern philosophy, of which Buddhism was his most recent interest.
He was a skilled craftsman, and once made his own furniture out of fine hardwoods, which were exquisitely crafted pieces.
He liked bicycling, fly-fishing, and paragliding. He recently took up yoga as an exercise. His most recent passion was organic gardening.
Craig was a kaleidoscope of a person with multi-faceted interests and sides to his character, and never boring. His absence will be deeply felt in my life.
