My strongest memory of Craig Eddy was the sight of him running full tilt down the stairs at Barrows Hall wearing his white T-shirt and jeans on his way to work on his motorcycle in-between classes. For classmates who do not know, Craig became a brilliant cardio-thoracic surgeon and saved countless lives. When I was waiting for a liver transplant in 1993, Craig provided excellent professional advice and unwavering support.
When Craig sustained a freak injury to his hand which ended his surgical career, he regrouped, attended law school, and became a respected attorney specializing in medical matters.
Craig and I became a couple my senior year. We continued long distance when he went to medical school and I to divinity school. Though he was a consiouses objector during college, he joined the US Navy before going to medical school. I went with him when he signed up. He felt he wouldn't kill anyone but he would be willing to heal for the USA. Years later he exited the Navy finding how much the healers were part of the war machine. As a grown up theologican by then, I wrote one of the afadavits that supported his separation application. Craig was an incredibly talented and deeply spiritual person. We enjoyed Aikido together and it was through associations we made through that we stayed in touch throughout the years. I found out about his death through one of those friends. He brought light into so many people's lives. It is such a loss that his own went out so prematurely.
