Craig was a graduate of Tri-Village High School and The Ohio State University where he

studied agricultural business.

Craig built a successful career as a commodities broker on the Chicago Board of Trade.

He forged strong relationships with farmers throughout the Midwest, connecting through

his family background in farming and gaining trust with his constant monitoring of grain

markets around the world. He rose early in the morning to learn weather forecasts and

market forecasts in other time zones.

Relatives and friends could depend on Craig to arrange tours of the trading floor when

visiting Chicago. He enjoyed riding his bike around Grant Park and the lake.

For many years he shared his father's enjoyment of horses and harness racing.

Craig often spent weekend time in Darke County at the family farm and in recent

years he and Luann built a home in New Madison where he continued to consult with

customers and complete buys and sales remotely.

The family wants to express special thanks for the kind efforts of Anne-Marie Downing,

his personal caretaker, and the staff and nurses at Everheart Hospice, and to Tim

Brinley, his lifelong friend and dependable helper during Craig's illness.

A service of remembrance is planned at the New Madison United Methodist Church

on Wednesday, May 3, at 1:00 p.m. Pastor David Richey and the Reverend Carol

Duffield will lead the service. Friends and family are invited to share a meal following

the service. If desired, Memorial Contributions may be made to the New Madison United Methodist Church.
