Craig Rudiger Obituary
Craig will be remembered as a loving partner and father who appreciated the simpler things in life, including coffee, sushi, music, working out, and spending time with friends and family.
Craig is survived by his longtime partner, Tina M. Schaarschmidt; brother, Burnley V. Rudiger, III; son, Dillon E. Rudiger; and several other loved ones.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the American Red Cross, to whom Craig frequently donated blood. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

My deepest sympathies to The Rudiger family and to all who loved Craig. He was always so much fun to hang out with. I will always remember those `garage´ band days when we were all so young. Craig played the bass guitar like it was an extension of himself. Rest in peace, Craig. We will miss you.
