Craig W. Luce, age 69 of Oxford passed away peacefully at home with his beloved wife, Claire and family by his side on July 26, 2018. He bravely battled stomach cancer for 19 months with grace and dignity. Craig was born in Bridgeport CT on November 22, 1948, son of the late Ruth and William Luce. He was a graduate of Stratford High School class of 1966. Craig worked for Sears and Roebuck for 30 years in various stores in CT. His first position at Sears was a gas attendant at the Bridgeport CT store and after 30 years he retired as an Operations Manager. He worked for West Chevrolet in Woodbury, CT. and changed careers to be a Financial Advisor for Met Life and New Alliance/Key Bank. After taking time off, Craig drove a school bus part time for All Star Bus Transportation in Oxford. He truly enjoyed driving the bus and all the students he drove. Craig loved playing golf with his wife Claire and his golf buddies from the Oxford Greens Community where he lived and “couples” golf with the neighborhood on weekends. He loved watching his favorite baseball team the Mets as well as golf on TV. He enjoyed daily walks, working outside and doing “handyman” jobs for the Oxford Greens Community. He truly treasured spending time with friends and family. He especially loved playing with his loving grandchildren, Breeah and Maddox and taking them different places as well as out to eat. He enjoyed golf trips, vacations to Myrtle Beach, Colorado, the Islands and many other places.
