To Scott and the Crafton family:

I worked with Gene for a number of years while I was with The Principal. I truly enjoyed my trips to Tuscaloosa, Gene's creative thinking and Gene's friendship. I called him in the last year and had a great visit about his beloved Alabama football team.

Peace to all of you and I am so sorry to hear of Gene's passing. He was an excellent man.

To Catherine:

I'm sorry to say, i have just learned of Gene's passing. He was a great friend for many years, and I will never forget him. I first met Gene while at the University in about 1965. He was a true and loyal friend. My prayers are with you and your family this Christmas season. God bless you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the entire Crafton family. May you find comfort and peace from our Heavenly Father during this time of great loss.

I'm sorry to hear the news. I was thinking about Gene yesterday.

I had the good fortune of knowing Gene through our mutual relartionships with The Principal Financial Group. Gene was a mentor and good friend, but most importantly a true southern gentleman and I will miss him dearly. My heartfelt condolences are extended to his entire family and friends. From this University of Georgia fan comes a big "ROLL TIDE"! God Bless!

Mr Crafton was one of the first insurance agents I met when I joined the team at First Protective 8 years ago. he was a very special sweet person and I always enjoyed speaking to him when he visited our office. May God take care of your family during this time.

I've worked with Gene since 1963 in the insurance industry and will treasure all the years we were associated. We've had some fun times as well as the working side of our relationship. His integrity and caring in the service of his clients will be a beacon to us all; he will be greatly missed as a professional as well as a friend.
