Christian faith, love for his family, and for his country are first and foremost in my reflections on Uncle Craig. That said his genuineness, warmth, generosity, and hospitality were just part of what I could speak to that made him the man he was admired for and will remain in the fondness of our memories. I’ll also personally remember his flair for finding the fun in life from my earliest recollections on shooting pool or target shooting with him to his fishing boats and I can’t leave the corvettes unmentioned. Our loss is deeply felt but he has blessed us in the times we shared and will continue to remember resting in our blessed assurance we will see him again in our own appointed time.

He taught me how to play pool. Therefore, I play left handed even though I am right handed....
