ROBERT (BOB) GEORGE CRAIG
September 12, 1943 — May 14, 2023
Robert (Bob) George Craig, 79, passed away on Sunday, May 14, 2023, in Atlanta, GA. Bob was born on September 12, 1943, in Blue Ridge, Georgia. He graduated from Georgia State University with an accounting degree and later became a CPA. Bob proudly served in the United States Air Force for 4 years.
Bob retired from Norfolk Southern Railway after 37 years at which time he was able to spend all of his time in his yard while tending to his roses. He was an avid sports fan, especially his Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves; no one could visit without a trip to one of these games. He loved visiting family and friends, especially in Morgan City and was always ready for a trip in or out of the country. Bob was a tireless tour guide, taking visitors on trips to see the many sites all over Georgia and surrounding states while lugging along his camera to record everything.
Bob converted to Catholicism in 2003 and was active in his Parish of Prince of Peace in Flowery Branch, GA.
Bob leaves to mourn his wife of 53 years, Andrea Guzzetta Craig; his three sons and their wives, Brandon Craig (Sasha), Jason Craig (Annie), and Kevin Craig (Sarah). Bob also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Alex Craig, Jules Craig, Sadie Craig, and Austin Craig who affectionately called him Babu.
Bob is also survived by his sisters- and brothers-in-law, Wiley and Peggy Magee, Lea Guzzetta, Ricky and Lynn Romaire, Logan and Susan Fromenthal, Paul and Torrie Guzzetta. He is also survived by his sister’s son and wife, Randall Clore (Rhonda) and a host of Louisiana nieces and nephews.
Bob is preceded in death by his parents, George Clifford Craig, and Esta Lee Craig; his sister, Betty Lee Craig; a great-niece, Jennifer Clore; and a great-nephew, Josh Clore. He is also preceded in death by his in-laws, Joseph and Beatrice Guzzetta.
