Memories of my daddy.Mom and Dad
took us to the Orlando Xmas parade
several times. One year daddy built us a mini-grandstand on the back of
his old pickup. We (the five of us
kids) loved it. And then there was
the year he built us a floating
dock on Lake San Su which of course
was shared with any Orlo Vistian
who happened to be swimming that
day. Daddy (with a friend) took
Watkins ,myself and the son of his
friend (do not remember the friends
name, of course) deep into the
Central Florida woods (lots of woods
surrounding Orlando in those days.)
to harvest Swamp Cabbage. (wasn't
endangered in the 1960's). It was
hot, sticky, thorny---I really wasn't having a good time until we
stopped at this incredibly pristine
clear, spring-fed (must have been)
lake and daddy and his friend started a fire (or maybe cooked on
a coleman stove) fatback bacon
and other stuff I am sure...the bacon sticks in my memory especially. Delicious!
I remember my daddy as being one of
the kindest, most non-judgemental
person I have ever known. I weep
almost everyday, but they are not
really sad tears. I will see my
daddy in heaven one day and I look
forward to that precious day!

Dad was a man of honor and integrity who feared nothing and walked with God. As his first born son I hope and pray that I will be able to achieve the benchmark of excellance that he left for each of us. Pop, I know you are in a better place, well and whole again. I will miss you but you live on through your children, grandchildren and great grandchild.

Even though he was my cousin, I was raised to call him my Uncle and that is how I will always remember him as. He was a lively and high spirited person and I will miss him. I remember when he would come and visit my grandpa and how he would tell me stories of his experiances. I give my regards to his wife and family and wish I could attend the services. He is someone that I remember and tell my kids about. God Bless the Cravey Family. My heart is with you in this time of sadness.

Uncle George was a good and steadfast Christian man. Just the kind of man to admire and be glad that they are part of your family. We'll miss him, but are looking forward to the day we'll see him again in Heaven.
