Clifford Crain. Clifford H. “Skip” Crain, Cranberry Township, Pa., the last of the renowned Crain brothers, died January 26 at 80 years of age. He was a widely known and respected member of the marine industry in the Pittsburgh area, where he led C&C Marine, known today as Campbell Transportation Company, as president. With leadership and guidance, he is said to have put C&C on the marine industry map as the premier marine repair and drydock provider in the Pittsburgh area.
At first, he pursued a career as an airplane pilot, but then he returned to his roots on the river in 1968 when he joined his brother Bub and Tom Campbell at C&C Marine, which they had founded. He was named president in 1973. He served in that capacity until 1996, at which time he left C&C and started with marine construction firm River Salvage Company. He retired from River Salvage in 2012, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
