Remembering Craig J. Dickson

December 31, 2009

This week I lost a very dear friend, Craig J. Dickson. Craig was a true Texan is every sense of the word. A kindred spirit, generous, kind and yes, eccentric. That is what made him so special to everyone he met. I will miss you Craig. Thank you for the memories. I know even [...]
