Creighton "Craig" Thomas Bulea

Loving husband, devoted father, and proud grandfather, Craig, 74, passed away peacefully on February 27, 2023, surrounded by his family following a courageous, lengthy battle with prostate cancer.

A life-long Buckeye, Craig worked for 30 years at Ford Motor Company and Visteon, retiring as Engineering Manager of the Sandusky, Ohio plastics plant, followed by a five-year post-retirement stint at Autoplas, and a third five-year career as owner of CTB Consulting. There was no problem Craig couldn’t solve; nothing Craig couldn’t fix; and no person Craig met that he didn’t offer love and support. He played as hard as he worked, and was in his element hosting several dozen of his closest friends and family, treating all to a meal, cocktails, and his famous Mick Jagger impression. Craig’s grit, toughness, empathy, and generosity will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know and love him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Hilda Bulea. Craig is survived by his wife of 49 years, Nancy C. Bulea; his children Erin Bulea (Kevin Kunselman); Craig Bulea (Kerry Lanigan), and grandchildren Marion and Wallace; Thomas Bulea (Emily Edelman), and grandchildren Brendan and Darwin; and Donald Bulea (Sara), and grandchildren Benjamin, Blair, and Mac; his sister Linda Vrbanac (Nick); his brother Rickey Bulea; and 15 nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are welcome to visit starting at 1:00 PM on Saturday, March 4th at Harbor House, 132 Main St., Huron, Ohio 44839 and join a celebration of Craig’s life at 3:30 PM with a reception to follow.
