After a brief illness, longtime Leland resident and celebrated documentary filmmaker, Scott Craig passed away peacefully, with his beloved wife and daughters by his side. Scott was born in Bexley, OH and grew up in Wooster, OH, where his father was a professor of theater and speech at the College of Wooster.
During his youth, Scott excelled at sports, but his passion was scouting, where he rose through the ranks to Eagle Scout. He spent many weekends camping with friends and his younger brother, Rob at Pee Wee Hollow, a camp in the woods, where he learned to love and respect nature. To earn extra money in high school, he started performing a pantomime act, lip-syncing to popular records. After graduating, he drove crosscountry to fight forest fires in Alaska, where his act became part of the floorshow at Fairbanks nightclubs.
