Land. It saddened me greatly to hear of him passing. He was the very definition of a gentle giant. Some of my memories of Craig: I guess he had a nickname in high school, Tonga, fit him perfectly. We would spend a night on the town and return to the ship a little lot. When we got to the end of the pier, we would both get into a football three point stance and race down the pier. He was a good friend, really he was a much better friend to me than I could ever be to him. The world lost a gem.Scott Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858186675402162176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170016.post-613574585529386962016-02-07T15:47:59.091-07:002016-02-07T15:47:59.091-07:00Leona, Yes... it's happening. 2 brothers gon...Leona, Yes... it's happening. 2 brothers gone within a month of each other and both under 55.

Our son Scott was a close friend of your brother Craig and it was Craig who spent a lot of time at our house. <br />Scott called us yesterday to tell us of Craig's death and that was how I finally made the correct connection.<br />Scott lives in Palacios, Texas. We just returned from there. His wife just received her Electrical Engineering degree and we were there to celebrate.<br />Again, we will have you in our thoughts and prayers. Fifty-three is much too young and I know there is a ache in your heart. LeonaLeonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930534637042676745noreply@blogger.com
