Yesterday, December 29, 2009 I woke up to a world without a dear friend. It saddens me to write this on my blog, but in total Honor and Respect I know Craig is smiling down on me as I am trying to figure out which words to place in order to convey my feeling about his passing on. So all I have to say now about Craig is His Train is Bound for Glory and He's On the Road Again, just in a different heavenly setting.
Thanks Craig for your stories of Chasing the Texas Sunsets. And may you
forever be Chasing the Heavenly Sunsets now. Which most likely are not
that much different that the Texas Sunsets, because we know that God
Blessed Texas with many things and the beautiful Texas Sunsets is
definitely one of God's Blessings. I will surely miss Craig's laugh and
sense of humor, and it will be hard not to think and remember Craig on
each glance of a Texas Sunset from here on out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig

Craig made a living marketing real property and was a lifelong member of the Houston Association of Realtors. But, his career was “Chasing the Texas sunsets” criss crossing Texas from Sabine Point to El Paso and from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Palo Duro Canyon. Someone asked Craig “What are you going to do when you have criss crossed all of Texas”? Craig’s reply! Start all over again.
