Craig Cormack Milne
CUMBERLAND – Craig Cormack Milne, better known as “Milty”, passed away on Feb. 11, 2026, at the age of 84.
Craig was born in Boston, Mass. on Jan. 23, 1942, and grew up in Lexington, Mass. He loved playing baseball as a child and later became a beloved baseball coach to his two sons in Cumberland, Maine.
Craig graduated from Lexington High School in 1959, and graduated from the University of Maine, Orono where he met his wife, Sandra (Farrar) Milne, from Hingham, Mass. They were married for 60 years and had a beautiful life raising three children in Cumberland.
He was a proud member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity and President his senior year. He worked at the original Pat’s Pizza with buddies John, Richard and Laddie. Craig was a self-employed Real Estate Appraiser. He finished his career working for the State of Maine, specializing in appraising bridges.
His greatest joy was his long-time membership at Val Halla Golf Course. He was President twice and enjoyed running his beloved Shenanigans tournament.
He is survived by his wife, Sandra Milne; and two children, Lysa Milne Curry of Hingham, Mass. and David Milne (and his wife Jen) of Sarasota, Fla.
His son, Michael, passed away in 2022.
He is also survived by his two sisters, Susan Milne (his twin) of Lexington, Mass. and Carol Milne of Natick, Mass. and his sister-in-law, Linda Akers of Palmer, Alaska; and six grandchildren who will miss him dearly.
Milty lived a wonderful life full of wit and humor. People were always drawn to him and he will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched.
There will be a private family burial at a later date with a celebration of life at Rachel’s at Val Halla with more details to follow.
