I'm very sorry to hear this.
We all had good times together in high school. I had hoped to see him in March.
RIP, Craig.

I just saw this last night. We'd been in touch on facebook the last few years, but I hadn't heard from him lately. I searched the Tuscaloosa obits, but couldn't find anything on Craig.

Craig was a great person in high school. We hung out together and played in the high school band on baritones. Always enjoyed riding in his Mustang convertible thinking we were bigshots (never were) but still fun. We connected some in the last few years and it was nice to reminisce about the high school years. His memory was better than mine and you could see he enjoyed just talking about the "good old days".

Sorry to see Craig's passing. We swam together for a couple of years with great success (State Champs & Runner-Up). Craig was an incredible swimmer and bulit much like Mark Spitz (unlike me). Craig held the record for the fastest 50 yrds freestyle for a time in Alabama. He was THS' best Swimmer!! After practice at the YMCA, we would see how many guys we could get into his White Mustang convertible & do Chinese fire drills downtown in traffic. Craig was extremely bright and kind to me. I wish his family the very best of memories of him and God's grace/blessings!
