ARTHUR FRANK JR. CRAIG

Funeral Service for Mr. Arthur Frank Craig, Jr., 77, of Bay St. Louis, MS 
formerly of West Monroe, LA will be held 10:30 A.M., Thursday, May 5, 2016 in 
the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home, West Monroe with Rev. Jon Tellifero 
officiating. Private family graveside services will follow at Roselawn Memorial 
Gardens Cemetery in Calhoun, LA.

Born May 10, 1938 to Margaret Grower and Arthur Frank Craig, Sr., he died April 
30, 2016 in Houston, TX. He was a resident of Bay St. Louis, MS. A native of 
West Monroe, Art graduated from West Monroe High School, Northeast Louisiana 
University and Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where he earned his 
MBA. Art was a U.S. Army veteran having served at Fort Smith in Arkansas. He 
was employed with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. 
He then became self-employed. Raised by his father to be an avid outdoorsman, 
Art hunted and fished most of his life. Like his father, he passed down his 
love of the outdoors to his children, as evident by the many trips he took with 
them to places like Canada, Minnesota, the Ozarks, and the Florida Keys. A big 
fan of all things sports related, Art was always willing to discuss the 
coaching philosophy of Les Miles and he followed LSU baseball religiously.

He is survived by his daughters, Jan Craig (Bill) Clinkscale of Fort Worth, TX 
and LeAnn Craig (Tommy) Pittenger of Baton Rouge, LA; a son Arthur Frank, III 
"Trey" (Michele) Craig of Ponte Vedra, FL; six grandchildren, Avery and Julia 
Clinkscale, Emma and Georgia Pittenger and Mia and Lily Craig; two sisters, 
Betty Bolton and Dorothy Craig, both of Memphis, TN.

Visitation will be held from 9:00 A.M. until service time on Thursday at 
Mulhearn Funeral Home, West Monroe.

Pallbearers will be Tommy Pittenger, Bill Clinkscale, Avery Clinkscale, Ralph 
McNabb, Johnny Marzula, Pete Grower and Jeff Carter.

Art's children are grateful to the caring staff at Houston Methodist 
Willowbrook Hospital for their kindness and compassion, most especially Ann.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society , 1761 
N 19th St, Monroe, LA 71201, or a charity of your choice .
