So many memories of Craig growing up. We worked together at my Dad's clothing store for many years and he was always so much fun and so personable. My condolences to his family and Mom Lorene and sister Jodi too.

Jodi and family. My heart goes out to you.

RIP, Craig Aldag. Great friend, the source of many memories, tall tales and good conversation for more than 50 years. Big loss for his wonderful family and a long, long list of friends.

I met and became friends with Craig during my time as Service Manager at the Polk Avenue location in Des Moines from 1986-91. He was a genuine and charismatic person. I will never forget the rounds of golf we enjoyed and the laughter he could bring forth with his wit and humor. I am proud to have known him and called him my friend.
