He was preceded in death by his parents, Sterling Paul Landry Sr. and Annie Marisco Landry; his brothers Sterling Jr. and Art Landry and his granddaughter Caitlyn Wajda. Craig was a wonderful husband, father and proud grandfather who served admirably in the United States Marine Corps. He was a hard and dedicated worker and retired from the Southern Pacific/Union Pacific Railroad and traveled for many years after with his beautiful wife, Joann. Craig’s legacy to his children and grandchildren is to work hard, enjoy your life, be yourself and never take yourself too seriously. And as he would always say “It is what it is”. This great man retained his sense of humor right up until the end. The King of comedic timing and "the one-liner” will be greatly missed by his family, friends and countless others who’s lives he touched.
