Graveside services at Union Cemetery in Union, Iowa. Celebration of Life in Manitoba, Canada. Memorials may be directed to the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames. Craig was born in South Kirkby, Yorkshire, England, on January 28th, 1944, the son of Marion Fulton (nee Tye) and Victor Fulton (RCAF) before arriving in Canada as part of the welcomed influx of war brides and returning forces personnel. Craig grew up on the family farm just south of Birtle, Manitoba, attending school in Birtle before embarking on his collegiate studies. Craig started at Brandon College, and studied agricultural economics at the University of Manitoba earning Bachelor's and Master's degrees. He was accepted at Iowa State University to take his Ph.D in Agricultural Economics, completing his studies in 1976. In all Craig dedicated a quarter century to his education starting in Grade 1 in 1950. This dedication to learning and quest for knowledge accompanied Craig throughout the remainder of his career and life. 1976 was not only noteworthy for completion of the formal education phase, but also the year Craig accepted a position with the Canada Department of Agriculture (now Agriculture Canada) as an economist. Craig moved to Ottawa, but his connection to Iowa was not done, as he met his future wife, Judith Bates while at Iowa State University and they were married in June 1977. Craig worked at Ag Canada for over thirty years doing seminal work on income stabilization programs for farmers across Canada. Craig and Judy welcomed family additions; Jane Anne born in January 1979, and John Craig born in July 1981. Craig was very active in the community in Ottawa and a regular participant at the City View United Church serving as church treasurer for a number of years putting that Ph.D in Economics to work. Craig had a range of interests including cycling, golfing, reading a broad range of genres, but was most noted for his continuing connection to farming. He always made annual pilgrimages to the family farm in Birtle during the harvest months to lend a hand with swathing and combining and bringing his depth of knowledge in markets, grain prices and to discuss world economic conditions that affected the price of wheat. In most recent years since the family move from Ottawa to Ames, Craig was actively involved in managing family land assets taking pride in practical applications of his knowledge of markets and prices. Craig was predeceased by his wife Judy in 2016 in Ames. He is survived by his daughter Jane and son John. Craig was also predeceased by his parents Victor and Marion. Craig leaves to mourn his passing his two brothers, David and wife Verna, Sheldon and wife Lillian, and their extensive families all of whom welcomed Craig on his regular visits, firstly from Ottawa and latterly from Ames and welcomed the opportunity to debate a range of topics from the future for pig production in Iowa to the chances for Iowa State in the annual plethora of football Bowl games. In Iowa, Craig leaves to mourn his sister-in-law Beth Gaul (Stephen) and her family. A special note to Beth, the entire family thanks you for the care undertaken for Craig as the world endured the pandemic closing hospitals and borders for normal visitations during Craig's last days. Craig always loved to visit, always had a smile, and never stopped learning - we will miss him all year round, but most especially during harvest and the Holidays.
