Sterling was born in Williams County, North Dakota on August 16, 1918 to William E. and Anna (Vaughn) Craig. He grew up in Springbrook, North Dakota with six brothers and sisters.
He was a true-to-life “On The Range Cowboy” in his younger years. As a young man he moved to Missouri from ND, and worked in the Fulton area, including the Brown shoe factory. He also worked for Merle Smarr for many years, and then retired from Doors of Columbia.
While working in Fulton, he met his lifetime love, Dorothy M. Baumgartner. They were married on February 6,1943 in Kansas City. They settled in Millersburg, Missouri; where they raised their 4 children.
Sterling’s passion in life was family and his work, which he took great pride in. He was the true definition of a gentleman. He always had a big smile and rarely had an unkind word for anyone. He loved being in the country, watching wildlife and birds, and his family! Family was always his first priority. He had a gift for turning an ordinary piece of wood into something beautiful. Sterling was quite a chef when it came to the art of making pancakes. His grandchildren would travel for miles for a few of his famous pancakes, always served with fresh bacon.
