Craig grew up in North St. Louis County where he graduated from Hazelwood Central. Upon graduation he attended Southwest Missouri State where he met Paula. After returning to the St. Louis area, they began building the house that they raised their boys in and live in to this day.
Craig was employed by McDonald Douglas or Boeing through most of his working years where he worked on different aircraft projects. He loved camping and going on vacations with the family. In the last several years he and Paula would enjoy camping trips with their friends and occasionally parking their camper in one of their boys' driveways.
In recent months Craig was able to share time with his beloved granddaughter Kimberly whom he so dearly adored. He would call nearly every day to check on her. Craig was weeks away from meeting his new grandson and was so very excited to share time with him.
