Craig Andrew Palculict

Born May 21, 1948 in the Panama Canal Zone, he was the son of Andrew L. and Justina Janzen Palculict. Mr. Palculict was employed as a millwright at Georgia Pacific for 36 years. During his tenure at Georgia Pacific in Crossett, he was responsible for the hydraulic systems which he loved and took much pride in. He was a member of Galilee Baptist Church.

Craig was an avid hunter and fisherman his whole life. Craig spent as much time as possible hunting rabbits, squirrels, deer, and quail with his friends, his boys, and his wife. Summers were spent camping with friends and family at Lake Merrisach, Toledo Bend, and other bass lakes all across the south. Craig’s favorite fishing spot was without question Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge where he spent countless days catching bass over the years. Always quick with a smile and a joke, Craig made many friends throughout his life.

He was preceded in death by his mother Justina Janzen Palculict, his father Andrew, and his sister Deborah.
