Bob & Chris,
We are shocked & saddened at Craig’s passing. I have always remembered when your family moved to St. Joe and all the neighborhood football & basketball games that were played on our street. Craig was always the little brother that I never had. If I would have had a little brother i would have wanted him to model himself like Craig, he will always hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. Please accept our deepest condolences and our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family at this time.
Sincerely
