Today we lost a man that loved the Northwoods more than anyone I know. Mr. Brashler known as 1000 ISLAND CRAIG passed away this morning. If you ask ANY PERSON that knew him, not one individual would have a bad thing to say about this incredible man. Craig has had health issues, but that did not stop Craig, Carol and their dog Guinness from heading up north every chance they could. Their humble abode overlooked Mamie Lake where Craig could relax and recover after having different procedures.

He always told me, “Being here is all the therapy I needed”. I’ve never known a person that has been through so much and kept such a positive outlook like this man had. There are so many great story’s I could write, but with a heavy heart I can’t bring myself to do so at this time. Craig will truly be missed and the Northwoods will not be the same without him. All our love, thoughts and prayers go out to Craig’s loving wife Carol.

Craig, your pain and suffering is over and I’m sure you are playing a guitar with some of the musicians you loved to listen to. Let me end with your favorite phrase. WHOOP LETS HAVE SOME FUN.
