Our brother love to be in the mountains and share whatever he had whenever he could. He love his granddaughters and spending time with them made him so very happy. He also loved to play pool at one time in his life, and became almost legendary for his skills. He loved a hards days of work, even when his back gave him a bad time, but the work ethic was so ingrain that he got up early everyday to work, hunt, fish, cruise, take care of chores, visit, spend time with the grandkids, check on family and friends. We will miss him! To order memorial trees or send flowers to the family in memory of Craig Watlamet, please visit our flower store.
