Ronald N. Craig

Ronald N. Craig, 67, of East Troy, PA, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 from his home surrounded by his loving family.  He was the loving husband of Rebecca A. “Becky” (Van Noy) Craig.  The couple married June 29, 1965 and had 50 happy years together.

Ron was born on August 2, 1948 in Elmira, NY, son of the late Glenn L. and Emily June (Seymour) Craig.  He was a 1966 graduate of Troy High School and was a Construction and Maintenance Supervisor at Cummings Lumber until his retirement in 2010.  Ron loved the Lord and was a founding member of Grace Community Church of Troy.  He was gifted with his hands and readily used that gift to serve others.  Ron was a true outdoorsman.  He loved hunting and fishing, marksmanship and archery, working with wood, and just being “On the Hill’.  Ron was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend; he will be greatly missed.

Ron is survived by his wife Becky, his daughters Wendy K. Schultheis (Rich Bruce) of Clifton Heights, PA, and Tracey L. (Tad) Culkin of East Troy, his beloved grandchildren: Caden Brock Schultheis, Zachary Thaddeus Culkin, Madison Schultheis, Jacob Culkin, Izabelle Culkin, and Zadie Culkin, his brothers and sisters: Glenn (Gail) Craig of Melbourne, FL, Linda (Dale) McClelland of Gillett, PA, Carolyn Craig of Troy, Darla (Neil) Moore of Elmira, several nieces and nephews, along with his “deer” friend Bill Wilkinson.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents and his in-laws Jacob and Doris Van Noy.
