William Creiglow

Born on March 16, 1943, in Lancaster, Ohio, he graduated from Bloom-Carroll High School and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree from Bowling Green State University. He was a dedicated Industrial Arts teacher and track coach in the Columbus Public School system, a skilled printer, and at one time, a small business owner. Above all, Bill was a master woodworker and, although he never thought of himself as an artist, you could always see his personality come through his pieces. He possessed an appreciation for history and enjoyed living in a historical home outside the city. He loved being outside, whether that was playing with his dog or golfing with friends. Bill was a man who found joy in creating and his legacy lives on in the knowledge he shared and the things he created for his loved ones.

He is survived by: his loving wife Carolyn (Grimes) Creiglow, his daughters and sons-in-laws Suzanne and Dustin Mets, and Nancy and Burton Bardus, his grandchildren Owen Mets, Daria Bardus, and Jadon Bardus, and his sister and brother-in-law Esther and Jim Thompson.
