Obituary: Craig Olmstead, Ennis

Craig Olmstead, regional sales manager at Ennis, Inc. (asi/52493), passed away on Dec. 18. He was 68.

The North Carolina native worked as a pressman at Woehrmeyer Business Forms and later at Denver Forms, where his skills with both presses and people resulted in being promoted to vice president of manufacturing. In 1998, he moved to Ennis, where he rose to regional sales manager representing the Rocky Mountains.

“During his more than 40 years in the printing industry, Craig held many jobs, but for the last nine years his hard work, determination and most importantly his love of working for his customers allowed Ennis of Colorado to become the company it is today,” said Mike Allen, general manager at Ennis of Colorado. “I know Craig loved his job and with the outpouring of calls and visits before his death, I hope he got to feel how much he meant to those he impacted.”

Olmstead is survived by his wife Cindy; grandchildren Jonah, Justice, Julia, Josiah and Grace; brother Ronnie; sister Robyn; and mother Susan.

A memorial service will take place on Dec. 27 at 3:30 p.m. at Horan & McConaty Funeral Home (5303 East County Line Rd, Centennial, CO 80122). Reception to follow service.
