Craig Alan Moore, 67, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2016, at his home in Phillips, WI under the care of his wife, three children, and Flambeau Home Health and Hospice.

He was the husband of Carol (Revak) Moore and they enjoyed 47 years of marriage together. Craig was born on July 18, 1948, in Inkster, MI. He was the son of Roy V. Moore and Jeanne (Nieman) Moore. Craig graduated from Phillips High School in 1966. He then attended Stout State University for two years before enlisting in the United States Army.

Craig and Carol were married on October 26, 1968 and Craig deployed to Vietnam two weeks later. He served in the 9th Infantry Division in the Vietnam War. After returning from Vietnam, Craig continued his service as a State Patrol Officer. His law enforcement career spanned 32 years, ending with retirement from his position as Chief of Police for the City of Phillips in 2004.

Craig was a member of the Northcentral Chiefs of Police Association, VFW Post 5778, and the Phillips Knights of Columbus Council 2963, both of Phillips. Craig enjoyed fishing hunting, camping, dogs, RC helicopters, spending time in Florida, weaving, fixing just about anything, watching football, playing clarinet, and visiting with his family.

He will be remembered most for his gentle instruction, service, love and loyalty as a husband, dad, grandpa, brother and friend.
