This is sad news indeed. It looks like his final post on this forum was written the morning he passed away:

A Christian gentleman who I had the fortune of getting to know a bit through correspondence. He is in a far better place. You will be missed here, Chuck.

I always enjoyed his poetry and prose. Always great with words and etiquette. My condolences as well.

RIP Sam.

Rest in peace Chuck. My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones...

Perhaps one of those who knew him best here could sign the guestbook on behalf of the Lounge

This is just terrible news. Only 56. Dang. My condolences to his loved ones, for sure.

Can any of you who knew him in the "real" world offer any insight into how his health had been prior to this? Did he have a history of heart problems?

Sad to hear. RIP

Wow, that blows my mind. I had recently made friends with him via pm's here. Largely due to something he said I didn't wear my VS on my latest overseas trip. I still have his messages in my inbox.

Thanks for letting us know.

Very sorry to hear that. I loved his posts, he seemed like a great gentleman.

 

[Gromulus]

Another forum member lost but not forgotten.

My sympathies to friends and family.

God speed Mr. Craig

Sorry to hear the sad news. I didn't know him like some of you guys and dolls but he seemed like a real nice guy. Way to young to die.

Hi again

I was in Hatman Jack's today (Saturday April 7) and was getting eyelets put in a Sun Body and getting a Resistol re-blocked. Jack said that he heard earlier today about his death. He heard he was on his lawn mower and just keeled over (more or less). Beats the heck out of laying around for months dying of cancer in my opinion.

I believe that he had at least a slight heart condition.

Later

^^Going out while mowing the lawn isn't a bad way to take your final bow...

I too, will miss that guy.Take care Sam.
