Craig's ashes will be interred at the Veterans Cemetery in Springfield, MO at a future date with a celebration of life ceremony to follow. Craig was loved and cherished by many people, including his wife Sheila Fuller (Rinde) of 54 years; his children, Heather Croke (Michael), Jennifer Sinkwitts (Scott), Joe Fuller (Nicole), and Sarah Williams (Jason); and his nine grandchildren named in order of birth: Eden, Nolan, Addison, Braeden, Ruby, Devin, Rocco, Jack, and August. Craig graduated from Edgewood High School, located in West Covina, California, in 1965.

He had a fulfilling career and retired in 1998 after holding multiple positions in Pasadena, CA; San Bernardino, CA; San Diego, CA; Detroit, MI; San Antonio, TX; and Springfield, MO. Although Craig worked hard, he also enjoyed camping, fishing, boating, playing racquetball, mowing his lawn, spending time outside, and maintaining close friendships across the country. Not only is he survived by his immediate family and relatives, but also by his many friends who considered him as close as a brother. His name is already stamped on our hearts forever.
