I am so very sorry to hear of Craig’s passing. Too young. He was a kind and honest man and I’m sure he’ll be missed by many. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest In Peace, Craig.
I am so sorry to hear this. Craig and I went to law school together and I had planned to reach out to him this summer to catch up and explore the idea of working/retiring in Brenham. He was such a wonderful person so very sad.
RIP classmate! Craig was a nice and peaceful soul….prayers for his family and friends.
