Craig Lamont Schmoll, 55, of Warden, passed away at home, June 24 with his loving family by his side.

Craig was born in Hazen, N.D. and moved to Billings, Mont. as an infant. Then to Sheridan, Wyo. and on to Lodi, Calif., where he graduated from high school in 1969. He worked construction in the Lodi area until entering the Navy in 1971. He received an Honorable Discharge, then traveled the country on his Harley Davidson.
