I am so sorry. I still live in what used to be their house in Corvallis, Oregon. I recently received something from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. How do I get that to Amy?

My deepest condolences to Amy and the family. I remember Craig and Amy with fondness from our time together in Corvallis. Craig remained a dear colleague and has left a legacy of excellence in science. Such a warm, kind soul. Losing him is a heartbreak.

I am so very sorry to learn about Craig's passing from Ron Hix. Such a shock - someone so vibrant. Craig, Ron, my boyfriend Jay Foster (became my husband for 5 years), and I lived in Miami together shortly after college graduation -we all had a great time. I answered the phone call telling Craig he received the year-long scholarship around the world. Craig had become our roommate because my step-mother knew Craig's mom and her relatives. Craig's mom invited me to stay at their home for a couple of days during my first visit "across the pond" in 1975, so I met Craig, his brother, and his parents before heading out to see Europe in youth hostels. We did go visiting some very old pubs including one called "Dirty Dan's" or something like that - it was never cleaned so we had to hold our hands over our beer glass. Several years later, Craig got us into a VIP tour of Epcot as Epcot put Craig's photos on display as part of a permanent exhibition. So sorry we lost touch. I did see his excellent TedX talk on YouTube. Sincere condolences to all of you...
