My dad, Joe Folske, worked with Mr Craft at the Edison Company. I remember going over to Mr & Mrs Craft's house as a child; they were always so nice to my family. Rest in Peace Mr Craft.

As a kid I can remember Mr Craft had the biggest lit Christmas tree on Gratiot N of Hall rd. My guess is he might have had a little help from a Detroit Edison bucket truck to get those lights on top. The Craft family made its mark on many who lived in Macomb/Chesterfield twp for decades. I know Truman was a great businessman because I had the chance to sell him a Ford or two. Mr Craft was a big man in many ways and I'm blessed to have known him. Be at peace with Jesus. Mike Cottrell

I will always remember as a child Mr Craft had the largest lit Christmas tree on Gratiot, now I'm not sure but it probably took a bucket truck from Detroit Edison to get those lights on the top. You and your family were always a great addition to the Macomb/Chesterfield communities, and you were a darn good business man too. I know I sold you a few vehicles. Thanks for your support over the years.

Dear family.

We are sad to hear of your loss but glad that Truman is now in the presents of our Lord and Savior. Truman was a great man who loved God and loved to serve him.

I will always remember his smile and the fact that he opened his property to the Family Reunion each year. We had some great times when we could go.

He often said he prayed for us and our work here in Thailand. I believe he did pray for us.
