Craig was born November 4, 1949 in Des Moines to Robert and Dorothy Jean (McClelland) Moore. He graduated from Roosevelt High School in Des Moines and Iowa State University in Industrial Arts Education. Craig’s first marriage was to Paula Moore, from this union he had daughter, Lisa. He then married Sandra Kay Rickert-Boehm on February 22, 2002 at 2:22 p.m. at the Camponile on the Iowa State University campus. From this union, he gained four step-children, Katie, Karissa, Mark and Michael Boehm.
Craig worked at H& D Kawsawski in Boone then for Zooks Harley Davidson as a mechanic from which he retired. Craid (or Burt as he was known in Boone), loved riding motorcycles. He could fix anything. He loved going to his step-children’s and grandson’s ballgames and other activities. He enjoyed going to ISU ballgames, (when they played well) and I Cubs games. He loved jokes and playing with words and the English language. He also loved shopping for a bargain and using coupons. Craig was always willing to help a friend or a stranger and he knew no enemies. He loved taking road trips and playing with his friends. He liked working with wood and making unique presents.
The expansions and loyalty of friends is indicative of his loving heart and soul. Craig spent enumerable hours taking care of Sandy’s mom who has Alzheimer’s disease.
Craig is survived by his loving wife, Sandra; daughter, Lisa Diane (Donny Young) Moore; step-children, Katie(Charlie) Crees, Karissa (Merle) Boehm, Mark Boehm and Michael Boehm; step-mother, Dorothy Ann Moore; grandchildren, Ethan Crees, Breanna Young, Tanner Moore, Hannah Caster, Mallory Young, Dawson Young, Gus Young and Gunner Jack Young.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests consideration be given to a cause in which Craig was interested, supporting important research efforts at the University of Minnesota aimed at stopping the development of Alzheimer’s Disease.
A “Shorts-Donned” celebration of Robert (Burt/Craig) will be held, with interment following on Saturday, June 21, 2008. More details will be supplied later.
