Most Recent Reflection
View all 19 ReflectionsI was thinking about Craig today for some reason and decided to Google him. Of course I was stunned to learn of his passing years ago at such a young age and in such a tragic way. When the Greenwald family was living in Cherry Hill NJ during the 1970s, I had the privilege of watching Craig develop from a boy into a fine young man from the time he joined Boy Scout Troop 147 in 1972 until he graduated from high school 7 years later. As often happens, I lost track of him over the years. I am not surprised that he chose a life of service in law enforcement, and I feel very privileged to have known him. My belated condolences to his family and loved ones.
