Funeral services for Harold Craig were held on Monday, August 19, 2024, at the Global Methodist Church, Armstrong, Iowa, with Pastor Lyndon Roesler as officiant.
Harold was laid to rest at Armstrong Grove Cemetery, Armstrong, Iowa.
Harold Craig was born to Frank and Dorothy (Sabin) Craig on August 25, 1941 on the family farm in rural Dolliver. He passed away at his home surrounded by family in Armstrong, Iowa on August 15, 2024 at the age of 82 years.
He received his education and graduated from Dolliver High School in 1960. He then went to work for Art’sWay Manufacturing. Throughout the years he owned C&S Clothing, and worked at Obbink Chevrolet, and the Armstrong Ag Center. He owned and operated Countryside Golf Course in Armstrong and sold that in 1992. He then continued to work as a “GRASS ARTIST” for Rose Lake and Interlaken Golf Courses, as well as many other various jobs.
On June 11, 1976 he was united in marriage to Gayle Rydberg in Armstrong. The couple made their home in Armstrong. The couple enjoyed winters in Texas and Arizona. He was a member of Global Methodist Church in Armstrong.
Harold loved the outdoors - golfing, fishing and hunting - enjoying it with his sons, grandkids and great-grandkids. In between he would have to turn off at every garage sale sign to find the best deal especially on golf putters, clubs or something no one knew what it was! He was a “collector and organizer”!
Left to cherish Harold’s memory are his wife, Gayle of Armstrong; sons, Rick Craig of Hackensack, Minnesota and Troy Craig of Big Lake, Alaska; five grandchildren: Amy (Ryan) English, Ryan (Stephanie) Craig, Beau (Hanna) Craig, Zachary Grace, and Hunter Craig; and five great-grandchildren Lainey and Nolan English, and Zoey, Blake and Hank Craig. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Tom Trenary.
He has been preceded in death by his parents; sister, Donna Trenary; and brother, Gale (Eyvona) Craig.
