Kenneth,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Enfield has been lost with out Dr Craig. He was a wonderful person and doctor. He will be missed by his family and by the people here in town. When you miss him just try to remember the good times that you shared with your dad.

Ken, Mary, and Liz - I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father.
Dr. Craig was always the best doctor in the world and a friend when I needed one. He was someone that I could talk with and he would give me great advise. I have been here in North Myrtle Beach since 1989 and have yet to find a doctor as well as a friend that comes close to your daddy. Enfield was fortunate to have such a wonderful man call it home. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
