Hey old friend, I remember your playing very well. Many years have passed since last I saw you, But you have always been in my mind. You were even going to take me to my first concert, Lynyrd Skynyrd, but as we walked out the door, it came across the news that their plane went down. I will never forget you, and I never went to a concert until I was in my 40's, coming full circle, I went to Lynyrd Skynyrd. I know where ever you are, you are playing and showing your compassion to all who you encounter. Keep rockin Craig.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I remember Seth. I drove the blue Camaro and probably still have pics of you and Barry throwing the football TA Ta For Now!!!
