Craig Zobel Obituary

Published by Star Tribune from Jul. 6 to Jul. 7, 2006.

Zobel, Craig Age 50, of Bloomington, MN, left us much too soon after complications from Multiple Myeloma which he faced with strength, determination and hopefulness. He was a wonderful son, husband, father, uncle and grandpa who enjoyed the cabin, "his favorite place in the world", boating and fishing with his family. Thanks to Kermit and Brad who were always there to help us. He will miss his fishing buddies Kermit, Andy and Eddie; and they will have to have the contest without him. Survived by parents, Robert and Carolyn; brothers, Bill (Cathy), Jim; sister, Cindy (Rolf); and nieces and nephews; wife, Nancy; and daughters, Katie (Andy) and Lauren; and grandson, Carter. He will be missed so very much. We love you Craig, Dad, Grandpa. Thanks to Dr. Khoyratty and the wonderful supportive staff at the MOHPA Office, the 8th floor Oncology unit at FSH and special thanks for the help and support of his friends and co-workers at Cub Foods. Memorial service to be held at Cremation Society at 7110 France Ave, Edina, on Friday, July 7, 2006 at 7 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred.

Katie,
Our dad's are playing cards, riding motorcycles and going on - while watching over us every day. We will continue to raise our boys and make them even more proud - they will not miss out on anything!
Take care!

Nancy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember Craig's shiny spirit.

Nancy, I always enjoyed working with Craig (CZ to us). He was always so straight forward and honest. Even when he disagreed he would always give his best efforts and usually give that patented smile of his. I only wish I would have had the priviledge of spending more time with him. Bless you and your family.

Dear Nancy, Katie and Lauren,

I am deeply saddened to get this news--my memories of all of you are of a very close, loving family, and a Dad, who was so proud of all of you. Yes, this is much too soon. I'm glad that you had at least some time to deal with Craig's illness and to do all that was possible to help each other. May your memories of all the good times sustain you at this time.

With deepest sympathy,

Nancy: our deepest sympathy goes to you in the loss of your life partner and best friend, Craig. Lauren and Katie: we're so very sorry you lost your dad--way too early. May God send you and the rest of your family the strength to bear this terrible grief. We surround you with loving thoughts - don't hesitate to ask for ANYTHING you need from us. ANYTHING at all. We love and support you now and always.

With heartfelt sympathy, Julie and Don

Katie,

The prayers of the church staff at TLC are with you and your family this week and in the weeks to come. We know this will be a time to remember and mourn. Your father's guidance has helped to form you into the kind and talented person you are. God be with you in these times of mourning.

CZ-

We havent talked for a while, but I will miss knowing your out there somewhere. Your sense of humor during POG's made it bearable.

The Boy Scout moto is "be prepared"; but no one can ever be prepared for something like this. my heart goes out to the whole Zobel family; I know what a good friend and long time friend that Craig was to my brother Paul and his wife Sarah and he will be missed.
