He was a retired firefighter in Reading, Ohio; a painter, plumber, and all around handyman. He used to say, “Jack of all trades and master of none”. He was the son of the late William and Frances Craig. He was the twin of the late Donald Wallace Craig. He is survived by sisters, Edna Gray and Brenda Mader; as well as brothers, Gerald and Richard Craig. He was a loving husband to wife Carolyn Sue Craig (née Hunkler).

Ronnie also leaves behind many in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and what we all call extended family, that although they were not blood related, they called him Daddy, Uncle Ronnie or Papaw because he treated them just like they were his child, niece, nephew or grandchild. This list of extended family is far too many to list, but they know he couldn't have loved them more.
