Craig E. Thull

Craig E. Thull


Craig E. Thull, 72, of Campbellsport, entered eternal life on May 4, 2024. He was born on April 17, 1952. Craig was known for his kind, hardworking, and selfless nature. He was generous with his time and talents, and always quick with a joke, making him a joy to be around. He cheered proudly at his children's and grandchildren's sporting events and was the original GPS well before smartphones. Craig grew up on his family's farm in St. Michael's and graduated from Kewaskum High School. He married Lois Strupp on August 30, 1974, and was devoted to his family from that point forward. He had a successful trucking career at Level Valley Dairy and UPS, retiring in 2017 with over 3,000,000 miles on the road. He will fondly be remembered by many as "Rebel Streaker." Craig was a member of St. Matthew's Catholic Church, serving the parish in countless roles across the years, most recently as an usher and a ticket taker at fish frys. He found joy in simply being with family and friends, going for ranger rides, hunting, shooting, winning nickels playing sheepshead, telling Ole and Lena jokes, vacationing in Shawano, roasting pigs, drinking a cold beer, throwing the bumper for his puppy, Lucy, and listening to polka music and classic country tunes. Craig is survived by his children, Matthew (Erin) Thull, Andrew Thull, Jessica (Peter) Brundage, and Daniel Thull. He was "Papa" to Dalton, Lilah, Taylor, Isaiah, Katelynn, Cyrus, Franklin, and August. Craig is also survived by his siblings, Sue (Ralph) Deppiesse, Gale Thull (Don), Janine Thull (Jeff), Gary (Doreen) Thull, Geralyn Fromm-Nothem (Dave), Kevin (Lynn) Thull, Adrianne (Ron) Theusch; in-laws, Vicky Thull, Gerald (Carol) Strupp, Mark Strupp, and Lora (Michael) Nitschke; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lois; parents, Norbert and Marilyn; father and mother-in-law Werner and Loretta; brothers, Leon and Alan; brother-in-law, Ron; and nephew, Brent. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Saturday, May 11, at 1 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, 406 E. Main St., Campbellsport. Rev. Mark Jones will officiate with burial to follow in St. Matthews Cemetery. Visitation will be Saturday, May 11, from 9 a.m. until time of Mass at St. Matthew’s Church. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Craig's memory can be made to St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, Campbellsport Knights of Columbus, or Kewaskum Lions Club. Twohig Funeral Home is serving the family with guestbook and condolences at www.twohigfunerals.com.

| RURAL WRITES | G.A. SCHEINOHA CONTRIBUTOR Earth Day was last week. For 24 hours we’ve all recognized how fragile the planet really is. Some have used the occasion as an excuse to do something as simple as pick up trash along the roadside. We get a lot of that thrown out here. As if a quarry town is a dump. But that was then, this is now. What have you done recently to do your part? Do you
