Robert A. Craft Obituary

Craft Robert A. JR. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert A. Craft, Jr. who departed this life peacefully on April 2, 2025 at the age of 86. Robert, fondly known as Bob, was born on January 3, 1939, in White Plains, NY, to Robert and Mary Craft. Bob was very proud of his Westchester County, NY roots. Life would ultimately take he and his young family to Cherry Hill, NJ, and later Voorhees. He served as a volunteer fireman at Deer Park Fire Company and was active in the Boy Scouts with his son. He and Toni retired to Gibbsboro where they were enthusiastic volunteers at St. Andrew's Church. Bob was a loving husband to Toni, his loving wife of 50 years who preceded him, and a proud, devoted father to Rob (Denise) Craft, Lynne (Chris) Burt, Jennifer (Ron) Warren and Susan (Scott) Kerr. He was also a caring and loving brother to Sharon Craft, and brother in law to Susan McKenzie. His pride and joy and his greatest role in life was being called Pop-Pop to his seven grandchildren; Blair Wilson, Christopher Campbell, Kate, Jack and Tim Warren, Amanda and Matthew Kerr. The family invites friends to a Visitation at St. Andrew the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Gibbsboro, N.J., at 10A.M. on April 11, 2025, and a Mass beginning at 11A.M. We are forever grateful to the nurses and staff at The Fountains in Atco, NJ, for the love and caring attention given to our father and grandfather. "Pop-Pop", "Chuckles", "Bobby Joe"....you are forever in our hearts. Funeral Arrangements by Blake-Doyle Funeral Home.
