Earle Craig '39 was, according to the Lucky Bag, "A regular fellow from the wilds of New Jersey, Buster is ready for anything and everything, from dragging blind to lending a poor unfortunate a little cash. Can be found almost any afternoon in the gym, engaged in a fast game of handball or basketball. His favorite pastime is, however, singing popular songs in the shower, very much off key and in words of his own composition."
Earle was lost on October 12, 1944 when his TBM-1C Avenger torpedo bomber was shot down turing the Formosa Air Battle. He was 28 years old, a Lieutenant Commander, and commanding officer of Torpedo Squadron (VT) 44, embarked in USS Langley (CVL 27).
He was survived by his parents.
