Craig was an amazing friend, as I knew him from the Pickleball community at Dakota Community Club, for the past 4 years. We are deeply saddened by this announcement, and even angry, that such a great guy, could pass so suddenly is so totally unfair. I had played with and against Craig in this sport many times, and he was very good and had a friendly competitive style, but most importantly a gentleman on and off the courts, with a calm and joyful attitude with everyone. We were all so shocked as we heard the news, as we all knew Louise Doucet as well, as an equally warm friendly person, another fellow pickleball player, and we knew she was a very close friend, to Craig. I would believe that Craig, was appreciated and respected by hundreds of co-workers from his past, and hundreds of friends in his life. We extend our Prayers and condolences to Craig's family and Louise, and I believe that God, will put Craig (a New Angel in Heaven) to work, watching over and guiding his children, grandchildren, and his family, while embracing Leanne. GOD Bless You and Give you strength and courage, during this shocking time of despair. The Dakota Community Club Pickleball Players, are so sorry and feel your pain.
