Boyd CRAFT Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that the Craft family reports that our dear Boyd Dale passed away in the afternoon of Thursday, August 1, 2024. He is survived by his brothers, Lonnie Dean and Donald Omer; and his sister, Terri Sue; his many nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grandnieces. Our brother, Kenneth Wayne; sister, Norma Carol; mother, Kathirene; and father, Alonzo, having passed previously. Boyd was a beloved character in the Hillyard community. His truck of many different origins was often sighted at Zip's Restaurant to the joy of the children that would laugh at the flapping teeth in the grill of "Tow Mater". Boyd and "Tow Mater" were the victims of a hit and run driver just weeks before his passing of cancer. You will be greatly missed, dear brother.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
