I will always remember the one and ONLY Craig Shimizu. I first met him when I was starting out at TAMC as a contractor. One thing I learned early on: when the network went down, Craig was always first to get on it. He was THE guy who could get things back up before the staff got in and they'd barely even notice. And yet, he was the most humble - he always underplayed the role he played and instead gave credit to his team and everyone else. Rest in peace, Craig.

Craig, I will always remember your 'can do' attitude and how you applied that to all of the work you did while a senior member of TAMC's network group. You have left a legacy of what determination and hard work can accomplish. I will miss your strength and common sense.
