After graduating, he went on to study breifly at OCE College in Monmouth, Oregon, when he was called to serve his country for 6 years in the US Marine Corp Reserves. He had a 30 year career with Oregon Department of Transportation.
Craig always loved all things outdoors. He had a fascination with history. If anyone ever needed help with anything, Craig was always quick to help others. Friends, Family, and neighbors knew they could call on him for help at anytime. In his free time, Craig could be found doing yard work, going golfing, camping, fishing, target shooting, and hunting was once a hobby of his. He loved tinkering on projects in the garage. His friends have fond memories of winning Craigs money playing Poker. He always enjoyed spending time with his Grandchildren.
The Calaba family would like to express their sincere and heartfelt thanks to his primary care physician, Dr. Mark Vanderburgh at Salem Clinic, First Call Home Health and Willamete Valley Hospice teams for their professional and compassionate care for Craig during his illness. Words can not express how much this meant to his friends and family.
A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to Alzheimer's Association, Willamette Valley Hospice, Wounded Warrior Project, UGM of Salem, or alivingtribute.org.
