Craig held a variety of jobs throughout his life including a number of positions in the food service industry. The last job that Craig held was a driver for Morse Moving and Storage, a position which he greatly enjoyed.

A free spirit, Craig had many interests and hobbies that occupied his time. A guitar player and an artist, Craig also enjoyed reading, as was evident by his extensive book collection.

Donovan Flickinger, Craig’s son, was his greatest joy. Craig’s pride in his son’s accomplishments was known to all who spoke with him.

Also surviving are siblings, Jim (Lois) Flickinger of Grand Rapids and Gary (Carol) Flickinger of Traverse City, brother-in-law, Steve Sageman of Canton, and many nieces and nephews.
