Retro Red, our friend Craig, has passed

Seldom have I found myself at a loss for words here on XMTS

I don't have anything clever or pretty to say

I wish I had had the chance to shake his hand in person

My thoughts go out to his family

Good bye Craig

What he said. Sigh. <raising a glass>

RIP, Craig.

Kilted angels, now there's a thing...

Slainte, I'll have one for you when I get in from work.

Craig's body may have passed on but his memory, humor, and the joy he has brought many, bringing a smile and a laugh when they were needed, will not be forgotten.

Rest in Peace Craig.

Rest in peace, Craig.

Frank, your photo tribute with the pix of Retro is quite touching. You are indeed a good friend.

My sympathies to the family.

May light perpetual shine upon him.

As Burns said in The Cotter's Saturday Night:

Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
An honest man's the noblest work of God.

Godspeed, Craig.

I am so sorry.

May he rest in peace.

I just learned of his passing on another kilt forum and thought I would post some words here.

I was privileged to call him my friend, for a while we attended the same church and I went to some Scottish events with him. I moved to the other side of the city and over the last two years we had drifted apart.

I am shocked at how quickly he went.

His family and his loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Found out about this yesterday from another X-marker, was totally bummed. Seems like we just learned about his problems and then he's gone.

Just goes to prove we should all;

Love like there is no tomorrow, laugh with the fullness of life, dance like no one is watching; Live to day for the blessing it is, tomorrow never comes and yesterday is just a memory.

May the good Lord bless and keep you Craig, we never met but you were my friend.
