Craig is survived by his loving wife Beverly Angel-Gildea of Manteca. His pride and joy were his children: Katherine and Michael Gildea of Manteca.

Fatherhood was very important to Craig. To see his children laugh, smile and play was heaven on earth to him. Craig will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father and loyal friend to many.
