Bob lived every day of his life for these wonderful kids. They were, without a doubt, the apple of his eye. Bob is also survived by one brother, Red Craighead and wife Beverly of Calhoun, LA; sister-in-law, Sue Craighead of Atlanta, GA; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Bob was a very kind man with a great big heart. He never met a stranger and was always willing to offer a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Bob was a firm believer in “listening to people”. He understood that everybody has a story to tell and all you have to do is listen to that person.
Bob worked many years at Olin-Kraft. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. In his retirement years, he spent as much time as he could with his beautiful grandchildren.
Pallbearers will be Dustin Head, Drew White, Richard Frank, Tyler Clark, Roger Craighead, Kenny Duncan, Jerry Cascio, and Sammy K. Nolan.
Visitation will be held Sunday, August 24, 2008 from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe, LA.
