Craig enjoyed the outdoors and loved working in the yard even after a full day’s work with the Parks Department. He also loved decorating the house during the holidays and his home was one to be seen at Christmas for his decorations and lights. Craig was an avid golfer along with his brother playing on many leagues throughout the year. Whatever he was doing, he always had his rock and roll music playing.

Craig was a loving husband. Rose and Craig celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on August 20, 2023. He was a wonderful, silly, playful dad and grandpa. He will be remembered as being fun loving and always there for anyone who needed him. Craig was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
