Craig Moore (1918-2012) of Bethlehem, PA was born in New York City. He served as an instructor and flight engineer in the Army Air Corps during WWII, worked as a Sales and Marketing Executive for the Dixie Cup Company, and, with his wife Madelyn, raised three children.



Craig worked with the Dixie Cup and American Can companies for over 25 years in both Easton and Europe. While serving as a vice president in Germany, he and Madelyn developed a sweet taste for language, culture, and travel.



In the second half of his life he altered his trajectory, deciding to retire from corporate life. He and Madelyn built a home in Costa Rica, studied Spanish, and became a fond part of the community. They also bought a 30 acre property in Moore Township at the foot of the Blue Mountain. Integrating the natural ecology with groomed landscaping, Craig always had his hands in the earth. He diverted streams, cultivated flora, and maneuvered heavy rocks, transforming the land into their own pristine vision, which they would call Blau Bergen Farm.



In the wake of the Vietnam War, and later, Craig dedicated himself to and strongly believed in peace, justice, and the inherent worth of every person. He was fiercely passionate and often vocal about overpopulation, minority rights, death with dignity, as well as myriad other causes. Consistently a humanist, whether it be through intelligent inquiry, inclusion, or debate, he gathered the love and respect of others- and always with a smile.



For over 60 years Craig was loyal to his family, a long list of friends, and the Unitarian Universalist Church. Preceded in death by his wife Madelyn, he is survived by his brother Hugh, son Scott and his wife Kristina, son Dwight and his partner Marie, daughter Sara and her husband Jim, grandson Matthew and his wife Michelle, granddaughter Sasha and her partner Robin, granddaughter Sarah, and numerous nieces and nephews. Please send gifts to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bethlehem. Arrangements c/o Downing Funeral Home, Inc.
