Robert "Craig" Alcorn left us on Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 2:20am at St. Mary's Hospital in Duluth, MN. He is preceded in death by his two sons Grant Alcorn and Mathew Alcorn, and his father Robert Leroy Alcorn and Mother Molly Alice Alcorn.

He is survived by his family; sisters Trudy (Dennis) Cadman and Cindy Alcorn; wife of 13 years of love, Evelyn K. (Blentlinger) Alcorn; son Kenny Cordle of Ohio, and daughters Stacey (Thaddeus Buroker) Cordle, Kayla (Cordle) Heino, and Ashley Cordle; two beautiful nieces that live on the west coast; and his beloved grandchildren; four grandsons: Joseph Cordle, Ronan Cordle, Chayton Heino, and Robert Ritchie; three granddaughters: Evee Cordle, Sita Buroker, and Laina Heino; and many friends and family that will miss him.

Craig lived a full life. He was born in Iowa Falls on December 12, 1945. Even in his boyhood, he was determined to live a life of adventure. He was an avid boy scout, which he took with him the knowledge of survival in the woods. He would always like to refer back to the boy scouts when telling his loved ones about anything to do with the woods.

As a young man, Craig joined the Navy and Served his country for many years. His adventures continued overseas. He saw wonders and devastation while in the Navy but as he always said, it made him a stronger man in life. When he would talk about his fun adventures it would start with "Lauren and I". He had many stories to share that would always leave his family laughing and sometimes impressed. He certainly knew how to live.

He was never in short supply of some good advice. Craig would always say he had the best advice to give. He would say Hawaiian shirts are the best to wear. He really loved them; he had closets full of them. He loved fly fishing, talked about how peaceful and calming it was; you would always find him in nature. Craig found himself working at the Cook Hospital as a CNA when he met his future wife Evelyn, and was soon to be a dad to three teenage daughters. He always said that having his family was his favorite adventure in life. He loved teaching his girls and grandbabies about the outdoors and how to survive. Now we have a strong kind guardian watching over all of us; family and friends. He will be at rest at his pond on his land. He will never be far from our minds. We all love and miss you dad, grandpa, husband, brother, and best friend. Be at rest, we will see you again someday. There will be a private celebration of life at a later date.
