David and I both have such fond memories of Craig, as he was still coaching in our Donehower days. He was sharp! I recall David being so impressed seeing Craig at a tennis match and watching as he was completely on top of everyone playing, the scores, the schedule – everything – without any notes. Respect.
Our hearts go out to the family. And warm wishes to you Vance!
