Dear all who knew and were dear to the great Beuford,
When I was little, he let me play with his toys as I was his son. I wrecked his dodge stealth as I pulled the e brake and rolled it into his firebird.
And he still loved me, and let me come to lake powell to parade around on all his waterborn toys.......and still I tested his forgiveness as I ran a wetbike into the houseboat.

I was in disbelief and saddened when I heard of Craig's passing. He has always been so full of life. I've known Craig since he had his little booth, under the stairs in the center of the Cottonwood Mall, selling insurance for Farmers.

Hi Chris,
Very sorry to hear about Craig. Deb and I smile when we think of the great times we had with you two on Lake Powell and in Yellowstone. Craig was a great man.

Dear Chris and Family,

Craig was a wonderful friend. I truly enjoyed working with him and traveling with the Pocatello Commercial Team to schools as Craig was always great fun to be around. Farmers will not be the same without his humor. Please take care and know that there are several people with you in their prayers. We will all miss him greatly.

Dear Chris & Family : We will miss
THE MAD DOG very much. I went to shool with him and have known his since grade school. He was a great man. He worked hard and always provided for his loved ones.
If you ever need anyone to talk to Bev & myself will be there for you. We are very very sorry to hear about this tragic event. We just found out today from Kathy Mc Rae tonight. We are sorry we didn't know sooner or we would have been there to support you & your family. Luv always, Ron...

Dear Bennion Family,
I was a friend of "Buford" from the Boys Trip to Sun Valley. We was a wonderful man always helpful for those of us who could not ski as well as Buford. He would always have a helpful hint. He lived life to the fullest. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow.
