Steve, Dan and Craig were the Volleyball Kings of Pensacola Beach! Craig always wore his badass volleyball hat. He looked like a pro. In one game we faced off against Craig’s two boys and Dan’s two boys. Fearing we might lose our winning title we had to do something drastic. So we decided to trash talk those boys so bad that they just kept slamming the ball out of bounds. Three grown men behaving like teenagers. My boys and I still laugh about that game today! It was just one of the amazing memories we have of the more than twenty years we shared that magical beach. The Birchers, the Kloeckeners and the Neelys. Oh how we all loved Craig Neely. We will miss him tremendously!! God bless you, our brother.
See you in heaven! We’ll toast an O’Doul’s!
