Craig was born in Arnold, PA on Feb 6, 1946 to the late Louis and Betty Beveridge. He went to Purdue where he met the love of his life, Susan and later graduated from the University of Pittsburgh. Craig served in the Army Reserves for 6 years. Always the entrepreneur, he started several businesses, including a bar, the Six Pence, a discoteque, The Big Apple and a very successful gourmet candy brokerage, GourmeTexas Inc. which he owned and ran with his wife for nearly 20 years. He loved traveling with his wife and 3 daughters, visiting amusement parks, historical places and even ventured through Italy and Greece for his 50th wedding anniversary.

Craig was soft spoken and adventurous with a wonderful, dry sense of humor. He loved spending time with his family and friends. There will be no service as per his wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
