Obituary
Craig Robert Reich, age 70, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully surrounded by family.
Craig was born on September 21, 1955, in Milwaukee, WI to Emery and Joyce (Herda) Reich. He grew up with his brothers Tim, Todd, Mark, and Kurt, and graduated from Appleton West High School in 1973.
In August of 1983, Craig married Marjorie "Peggy" Farrow, with whom he shared many years of family life until her passing. On February 27, 2007, he married Janel (Steinmann) Reich, with whom he built a loving life together.
Craig worked for many years at Kingsbury, retiring in 2017. Outside of work, Craig was passionate about golf and cars. He played on many golf leagues, never turned down a tee time, and enjoyed countless rounds with family and friends. A proud member of the Fox Valley Porsche Club, Craig owned and enjoyed several Porsches over the years, cherishing both the cars and the friendships that came with them. He also had a lifelong love of the Three Stooges, whose humor always brought him joy. Beyond his hobbies, Craig treasured time with his four brothers, sharing many fun Packer games and memorable vacations together.
Family was at the center of Craig's life. He is survived by his wife Janel; his children Shannon Reich, Katee (Jerod) Bastianello, and Brett Reich; his stepchildren Amanda (Andy) Schmitz and Aaron (Emilie) Steinmann; and his cherished grandchildren Kira, Conner, Reed, Max, Claire, Cecilia, Grace, Madelyn, Molly, and Ellie. He was also blessed with great-grandchildren Carter and Liam Hoffman. Craig is further survived by his mother, Joyce Reich, and his brothers, Tim (Bonnie), Todd (Ann), Mark (Stephanie/Stevie) and Kurt (Lisa) Reich, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Craig was preceded in death by his first wife Peggy Reich, his father Emery Reich, mother-in-laws Marjorie Farrow and Susan Willfahrt, and nephew Breck Reich.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Westridge Golf Course in Neenah, on Friday, October 17, 2025. Visitation will begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by a small service at 6:00 p.m.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the Aurora Hospice team for their compassionate care.
Craig will be remembered for his humor, his love of family, and his passion for the things that brought him joy. He will be deeply missed.
