After college, I shared a cubicle for five years with Craig at Nassaux-Hemsley, Inc. in Chambersburg, PA. as designer/draftsmen. I learned a lot of practical experience from Craig during those years that would serve me well throughout my career. He had outstanding hand lettering and he would often catch me viewing his completed plans. I considered him a good friend and am sorry to learn of his passing.

Craig, Nancy Davis Fowler and I grew up together on Clayton Avenue in Waynesboro, PA. We went through school together and remained friends for our entire lives. There are so many memories of our early years. He has always been a true, loyal friend and I will always love and remember him.
