The son of George and Carolyn Sjodin, Craig was born in Evanston, Illinois, on October 26, 1955. He spent 39 years as a still photographer for ABC TV and its acquirer Disney. Throughout his lengthy career, he contributed to the classic ABC television program The Bachelor and its offshoots.
You have probably seen Craig’s work throughout the years if you have seen the pictures of competitors holding their roses at the start of each season. Just one month ago, Craig was retired. He was eager to take his family to Australia and other places he had visited while working.
Craig was an expert cyclist who frequently logged hundreds of miles every week. He enjoyed riding in the Geneva region this past summer as part of a Sjodin family reunion. He rode bikes with the Rickeys several times a year in San Diego and Westlake Village.
Esther Bekhore Sjodin, Craig’s devoted wife, his son Ryan and his sisters Brenda (Dave) Rickey of San Diego, Nancy Nickoloff and Linda Hughes are his family members. The family will miss Craig’s company on our extended bike trips and pickleball matches, as well as his contagious laughter and insatiable appetite for Arnold Palmer beverages.
We express our gratitude to the relatives and friends who visited him at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center right after his accident, who sat by his side during the painful eight days before his passing and who are still supporting his wife, son, sisters and other family members during this awful struggle.
