When I was in high school Craig and I would always talk about football. After high school our conversations were always about cars and engines. When I went to College our discussions always turned to business, economics and politics. I have no idea how much interest he had in these subjucts himself but he obviously had an interest in who ever he was talking to. To know what was going on in their life and what they would find exciting. I will miss those talks, I will miss Craig.

I remember one summer my mom arranged for me to spend the day with Emily while she had meetings in Salt Lake.  Craig took the afternoon off from work to take us to some of the visitor centers downtown.  It was the first time I had ever been to any of those buildings, and in the years that have followed anytime I am in downtown Salt Lake I remember that day and how kind it was of him to take that time when he could have easily said he needed to work and not have concerned himself about me at all.  Two lessons he taught me that day: 1- the importance of locking your car door when you are in Salt Lake, and 2- Never buy Western Family bread.  Both of those things have really stuck with me all of these years.  I'm now much better at locking my door, and even though there are many things I will buy the generic brand, bread is never one of them.
