Craig, attended St. Joseph, Sacred Heart, graduating from Buena Vista High School - Saginaw, Mi. He enlisted in the U. S. Army.
Also known as Petey, Easy (Easy to remember, Hard to forget) as he would say, and Fat Daddy. If you knew Petey from the day you met him, you knew Petey. Petey endured all situations as such; serious to funny, loving and giving, with a guaranteed memory. You can always count on Petey to give you a long lasting unforgettable memory! In any setting Petey would find a way to make you laugh!
Growing up, he would often say to his younger Brother, when mad-don’t follow my butt! He was a dedicated Denver Bronco and LA Clipper fan. He loved a beer whether cold or warm! He never sweated the small stuff and was able to roll with any circumstances!
His burial was his final bill, he handled it like a “G”!
When you met Petey you were guaranteed a long lasting friendship always! He will truly be missed with broken hearts.
