Craig was honorably discharged from the US Army as a SP4 Wireman with the 25th Infantry.  He received the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and Expert Rifle Marksmanship Badge.  Craig was very honored and proud to serve his country.  In an interview at his junior high alma mater in 1968, he pronounced that his intention after the war was to “live it up” and that’s what he did.  He was an avid sportsman, who enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, and building "anything" with his friends, extended family, son, and grandson. 

Craig and Pat were the proprietors of Pheasant Hollow Farm and Loft Accommodations in Fly Creek, NY, before retiring and eventually moving to Kentucky.
