Craig Arthur Lane was a loyal friend and loving family man. In the wake of his passing, he is being celebrated a fundamentally decent and kind man not only by his wide and far-flung network of family and friends, but those who kne Read Obituary
I’m am deeply saddened by Craig’s passing. We grew up together in Livermore. I have a lot of great memories from those days. My deepest sympathy to his family. Phil Monson.
It is difficult for me to express the sorrow at the loss of such a "Wonderful Friend". Craig and I spent many a day together working as partners at Waupaca Foundry and outside of work as well. I got to witness the Love and Devotion he had for his Family, the commitment to his craft and the compassion he had for anyone needing his help. We worked together through good times and bad. I could always depend on him to give me sound advice whether it was in a time of crisis at the plant or trying to once again teach me how to putt on the golf course. The people who got a chance to know him were better for it.
Our hearts go out to you Barb and the Lane Family

Craig was a dear friend and we spent an enormous amount of time together at 2/3 and Later on the road traveling to all WF plants as Directors. He was always there to listen to me vent and share stories about the good old days.
As many of you know Craig was a HUGE Brewers fan!!! There will be a huge hole for me felt when the nightly onslaught of text messages don't come in from Craig...many unfit for public viewing when they would blow a lead late in a game. Jeffrey Jeffress caused many of these. Craig even got autographed baseballs somehow for both of us which I can only imagine was always close to going out the window or into the screen of the TV when he blew a lead based on the commentary he would text.
My heart is broken we are not able to go to Spring training together in Phoenix after we both retired as we so often discussed.
Rest in Peace My Friend.

My condolences to the Lane family. Craig was one of my first customers. He had me fertilize his lawn for the last 20 years. He was always very supportive and we had great conversations when we would run into eachother. He definitely loved his lawn and it showed. He was a true genuine person. I'm going to miss him and wish the family well.
Craig was my beloved brother. Though our lives took us miles away from each, I was blessed to know he was just a phone call or text message away. I fondly remember our years together growing up in Iowa. You will be greatly missed.
Barb,I’m so very sorry for your loss. I remember Craig coming with you to your appointments when you where pregnant with Seth. He always was so very kind and concerned about you❤️ Jane always spoke about him and what a caring person he was to her. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 Sandy Nielson
Enjoyed working with Craig over the years and spent many hours chatting with him in his office. Would talk golf and his family were main things that he would bring up during our conversations. Will miss him. From Gary Rossman
