Bob Craighead (Poo) - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Monroe News-Star August 24, 2008

Services for Bob Craighead (Poo) of Tallulah, LA will be held on Monday, August 25, 2008 at 2:00 PM 
in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe, LA with Brother Rayland Trisler 
officiating. Burial will be at Start Cemetery following services.

Bob was born on August 21, 1934 in Start, Louisiana and died at his home in Tallulah, LA on 
August 20, 2008.

He was preceded in death by parents, Cecil and Josie Craighead; one brother, Doyle Craighead; a 
wonderful aunt, Jane Antley.

He is survived by three children, Darlene Craighead and Richard Frank of Monroe, LA, Bobby Craighead 
and wife Beth of Longview, TX, and Rex Craighead of Monroe, LA; the mother of his children, 
Joyce Craighead of Monroe, LA; four beautiful grandchildren, Drew, Dustin, Kayla, and Tyler. 
Bob lived every day of his life for these wonderful kids. They were, without a doubt, the apple of 
his eye. Bob is also survived by one brother, Red Craighead and wife Beverly of Calhoun, LA; 
sister-in-law, Sue Craighead of Atlanta, GA; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.


Bob was a very kind man with a great big heart. He never met a stranger and was always willing to 
offer a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Bob was a firm believer in "listening to people". 
He understood that everybody has a story to tell and all you have to do is listen to that person.

Bob worked many years at Olin-Kraft. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. In his retirement years, 
he spent as much time as he could with his beautiful grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be Dustin Head, Drew White, Richard Frank, Tyler Clark, Roger Craighead, Kenny Duncan, 
Jerry Cascio, and Sammy K. Nolan.

Visitation will be held Sunday, August 24, 2008 from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, 
Sterlington Road, Monroe, LA.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Joseph Hospice or a charity of your choice.
