I knew Craig from a cruise I taken with my kids going back a few good year ago. It was on carnival, and one night we met up on the lido deck and we danced the whole night away, we cleared the floor lol. It was so much fun , I drawn him a birthday picture on a napkin with my phone number on it ,after that we always kept in touch, and he told me so many great stories I almost met up with him this year, but I couldn´t get away from Jersey. I wish I could´ve. My condolences goes out to his family. Love and respect ,Laura.
