Hugs & more hugs

I came to know the Crawford family through Corey. You see, I hired Corey at Quiksilver, but what I didn't realize is that, not only did I get a new employee ..... I got a new family. And the first time I met Charles he hugged me so hard my back cracked. Come to think of it, I don't know that I've ever shaken his hand .... it's only been hugs.
And I'm blessed. I'm blessed to have known him. I'm blessed to know and love his wife and his kids. I'm blessed to know that he loved my wife and my kids as much as his own. I'm blessed to be one of the lives that he touched. He exuded kindness, compassion, love and happiness.
And when I get up to heaven ..... he better watch out ..... cuz I'm gonna run up behind him and give him a giant hug.

Myself, Kathy, Jake and Elle offer our condolences to the Crawford family. We love you guys.

Forever family.
