Edward G. Crafton

Ed, you helped me become a man. I will miss you my friend.

I just received the news of the Coaches passing today. He was a major influence in my life, being a football player at Eastside Catholic. He was fire, emotion, a great mentor and a second father to us kids. He turned a rag tag bunch of clueless kids and made us into winners. I cannot believe that he is gone, and I will always remember him. My condolences to his family, especially his kids, who were there almost every day for practices and games. We will miss you very much, Coach Crafton.

My heart goes out to the Crafton family. Like so many others, I was lucky enough to experience Ed's mentorship. He was kind enough to teach a fellow Bulldog about the coaching profession. Ed was a great presence for us at Ballard when we needed it most. Rest in Peace, Coach.

So sorry for your loss, Mr. Crafton was a great friend and instructor to me in my years at O'Dea.

My condolences to Melinda and family during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Crafton Family. I have fond memories of Mr. Crafton as a student at O'Dea HS. May God Bless and Keep You.

Regards,
Paul Arguelles (O'Dea HS Class of 1981)
