Craig worked throughout his years as a machinist, doing janitorial work at health facilities, a school bus driver, and enjoyed numerous years working at a doughnut shop making delicious donut treats for the customers. His greatest accomplishment in life was having his daughter, Rebecca, who he loved, cherished, and admired. Craig was one who loved reading books and especially loved the sciences. He was a dreamer, as he had dreams of inventing something one day. The many books he had were marked with ideas about projects and numerous supplies ordered to get started on his dreams. Yet, life became more difficult for him and those dreams passed by. His family admired this about him and had hoped one day his dreams would come true.
