Craig was born on September 30, 1946, in Mt. Pleasant, the son of Dale and Nina (Stalter) House. He was proud to be a lifelong resident of Mt. Pleasant. Craig graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1964. He went on to enlist in the Army where he was a member of the 82nd Airborne from 1966 to 1968. Following the Army, he hauled milk for Morval LaLone until he became an independent truck driver, traveling the country through his work. Craig House Trucking was a one man business. Craig delighted in the challenges of hauling the largest and heaviest equipment for Bandit Inc., Morbark, Laramie Crane, and others. He constantly provided advice on how to load and which were the best routes to follow. Along with how to avoid certain areas and where the scales were located. Craig was an avid reader and loved spending time watching his grandkids, nieces, and nephews in their various sports and activities. He took great pride in his grandchildren's accomplishments and was present for many of their shining moments. He had a big heart for his family, often shown through joking or teasing. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
