Dick Craig, 74, passed away on January 25, 2019; Husband of Mary Lou Craig; father of Christi Kressin and Chad Craig and his wife, Nina; brother of Rev. Bruce Craig, SDB; and grandfather to Hayden and Jude Craig and Peyton, Cal and Brooke Kressin.
Dick was married to Mary Lou for 50 years full of love and adventure. He was a proud father of Chad and Christi, and adored his 5 grandchildren, Hayden, Peyton, Cal, Jude and Brooke. He was a true animal lover and cherished his many pets over the years, most recently, Petey, Bobalou and Pauly.
Dick loved everything Baltimore and everything Maryland. He was always in front of the tv with the Orioles, Ravens or a Terps game on. He spent many years taking photographs of Terps basketball. He loved life on the water and spent his best days on a sailboat, with friends and family.
As a profession, Dick was an outstanding chef, working internationally and coast to coast creating gourmet cuisine, ice sculptures and a cookbook.
Most of all, Dick would want to be remembered as a good man who loved and cared deeply for his close family, his many cousins and lifelong friends. A man who usually followed the path less traveled and benefited from many extraordinary life adventures because of it.
The family will receive friends at Lemmon Funeral Home of Dulaney Valley, Inc., 10 W. Padonia Road (at York Road) Timonium, Maryland 21093 on Saturday, February 16, 2019 from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at which a time a Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am.
Dick and Mary Lou adopted his beloved Pauly from Pitties and Purs, PO Box 5160, Baltimore, Maryland 21224 and deeply appreciate any donations made in his honor to this rescue organization.
