Frank Craig (BEDA 1977) passed away on August 18, 2009, in his own home, with his wife, Margret Kentgens-Craig, adjunct associate professor of architecture, at his side. He was 56 years old. Frank was the son of Harry Lee Craig and Bernice Gladys Craig, born and raised in Raleigh. In the last 6 ½ years of his life, Frank faced the diagnosis of a terminal brain tumor called Glioblastoma multiforme. This aggressive illness and its consequences robbed him of his ability to work as an architect and principal of one of the largest architecture firms in N.C., of colleagues and friends, and his position as lead guitar player in the band he had founded. Instead of becoming bitter, he found strength in his faith, personality, and his uniquely creative approach to life. Improbably, in the wake of this illness, Frank became a significant visual artist.
