So sorry to hear of Craig Huff's passing, Andy.
As you know he was one of the very committed members of the OPFA Urban Forestry Committee. He was still voluntering to do extra work for the committee up until a few weeks ago.
Although I did not know him well, I do know that he was doing an excellent job in Ottawa as the City Forester
We will all miss him. 
My condolences to his family and many friends in the Forestry field.
