Richard Craven Obituary
Richard A. Craven
Dick's memory is survived by beloved brothers, Bill Craven (Sally) and Stub (Joan) Craven of Snohomish; as well as his five grandchildren, six nieces and nephews and countless friends.
Dick served our country during the Korean Conflict and was known best as a tireless logger for the majority of his life. In the last decade he spent most of his time helping farmers and friends. His famous white pick-up truck could be seen regularly up and down the valley shuttling him from friend to friend for a quick visit.
Dick's wishes were for his remains to be cremated and placed to rest in the family plot in G.A.R. Cemetery in Snohomish, where graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, November 10, 2012.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to your favorite charity.

To the Craven family. I am so sorry for the loss of Dick. I am fortunate to have so many good memories of time spent with him through the years. To him picking us up in the old logging crummy to take us to the farm. Stopping at the little store on the corner so each of us could pick out a treat. And the racing days and picnics at mom and dad's, or the Guptill's.

One of the good ole boys, always a friendly handshake and a good story. Hope there is tall timber and good coffee where you are. R.I.P. Dick
