Seehafer Broadcasting is saddened to learn of the passing of WOMT on-air personality Tom Craig.
Tom was driving with his wife on Highway 41/141 in the Town of Little Suamico Tuesday morning when he was involved in a car crash.
Tom started his radio career in 1977, and his sultry voice was heard on stations across Mississippi, Ohio, and Wisconsin, including on WOMT and WCUB Radio.
Over his near 50 year career, Craig served as Program Director, Music Director, Public Service Director, Farm Director, Talk Show Host, News Director, Sports Director, Sports Play-by-Play, and On-Air Personality.
He did take a break from the mic in the 1990s when he heard the call to enter the education field, but returned to radio in the mid 2010s as he assumed the role of news director for WCUB.
He eventually transferred into his mid-afternoon slot on WOMT, where he entertained listeners every Friday.
WOMT legend Damon Ryan called Tom a “great human being. He was one of those people that had a great demeanor. Very humble, very kind.”
He also noted that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, as Tom’s father, who was a very talented surgeon, performed mission trips throughout his life.
Damon also noted that Tom was always very prepared for his shows, and never went on the air without knowing exactly how he wanted it to go.
Tom Craig was 66 a the time of his passing, and leaves behind his wife, who was also injured in the
