I just learned of Craig's untimely passing. Sending my sincerest condolences to Christina, his family and friends. Craig holds a special place in my heart. I have countless fond memories of out time we spent together. Whether we were crabbing from his boat, gathering with friends & family, puttering around the house and garden, beach vacations, sunset walks, driving the ATV, parties, and so on. He was also laughing and enjoying life on his terms. May his memory be a blessing. (Some of the images taken during out 1st outings) Rest peacefully Craig.
