| Notes |
- Criss went to school in Xenia and Flora, IL. He competed his junior and senior year in Syracuse, KS, where he met his wife Nancy Jo Hubbard. They were married Sept. 19, 1981. They lived in Goodland where he earned a degree in carpentry from NWKS Area Vo-Tech.
Criss built houses and fine cabinetry for a few years and then went to MMI in Phoenix and earned a degree in motorcycle mechanics. He then went on to DCP Helium Corp. in Liberal and worked there for 25 years. He also worked at SWCO road and bridge and as a sexton at Restlawn Cemetery. He loved caring for the flowers, and grass which he kept in pristine condition, earning him many heartfelt compliments. He loved the solace and peace that the work brought and the friendships he made working there.
Criss loved bass fishing in the lakes of Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. He loved riding his Harley and took several cross country trips. He loved the comradery of the riders whether in the Harley dealership or on rides. Of course most of his time was spent among his beloved family and friends. He was always volunteering to help his kids, friends, and strangers with any task they needed help with.
He was looking forward to the birth of his two grandsons on Dec. 6. He will be missed greatly and never forgotten.
