Friends & Family -

On Wednesday, August 11, Craig had a massive stroke, and doctors were unable to treat it due to the location of the hemorrhage. While he was hospitalized, his wife, Carol, and son, Nicholas, kept watch over him.

Yesterday, Goose passed peacefully and quickly while listening to his favorite 70's music. (He secretly always wanted to be one of Gladys Knight's Pips!). Carol was by his side, reminding him about how very much he was loved and how he would be missed by family, friends, co-workers, long-suffering Cubs fans and aging softball players throughout southeastern Wisconsin. To celebrate his quick wit, trivia knowledge and big heart, we'll be planning a memorial service in Milwaukee once we catch our breath. See you there!

As you can imagine, this unexpected turn of events will leave behind a trail of medical and funeral expenses.

If your life was touched by Goose - and many were -- please consider a memorial donation to his family.
