He is survived by his wife, Sarah; son, Wyatt Wilde (Aubrey) of California; brother, Brent (Donna) of Boothbay; brother, Jay Lannie of York; stepchildren, Rachel Leeman (Christopher) of East Boothbay, and Stephanie Hawke (Andy) of Boothbay Harbor; grandchildren, Nicholas Hawke (Emilie), Lelia Hawke, Andrew Hawke, Hannah and Stephanie Leeman, Winsor and Juniper Wilde; and great-granddaughter, Eloise Sarah Hawke.

It was Craig’s desire that there be no service.
