Crafton proudly served in the United States Air Force. After many years, 
Crafton "Dooley" retired from Manville Paper Mill then went to work for 
Pinecrest Elementary School as the maintenance man where he was loved by all. 
You could always find Crafton piddling in his garden, feeding his catfish, 
working in his greenhouse, or cruising with Mrs. Yvonne in their golf cart. 
Crafton adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, especially joking 
around with them and riding them around. We will always miss those big bear 
hugs and his mayhaw "papaw's" jelly.

Irene May; siblings, Waylon May, Mervin "Buck" May, Doris Aulds, and Mavis 
Weeks; grandson, Will May.

Mulhearn, and Sarah Kate Chism; sister, Mardell Floyd; sister-in- law, Mary 
Alice Hutchinson; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

Pallbearers will be Scott Evans, Brad Evans, Matt May, Harry Whittington, Jeff 
Brown, Tommy Comeaux, Randy May, Patrick and Spencer Barret.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M., Thursday, February 25,
