not sure which list someone was looking for Craft but here is an obit sorry if yopu get it more than once. bessie CRAFT, Daryl Lloyd CRAFT, Daryl Lloyd - Maitland Bridge. It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Daryl Lloyd Craft on May 1, 2007. Daryl was born in Saint John, N.B., on December 23, 1930. He was a son of the late Andrew and Ethel (Noddin) Craft. Daryl proudly served his county for 41 years, first with the Royal Canadian Navy and later with Parks Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard. Daryl joined the navy in 1949. For 25 years he traveled the world on-board many of Canada's finest fighting ships. He was a veteran of the Korean Conflict and served in the navy until he retired as a Chief Petty Officer in 1974. Upon his retirement from the navy, he moved his family from Halifax to Maitland Bridge, and worked for the next three years with Parks Canada at Kejimkujik National Park. In 1977 he returned to city life and joined the Canadian Coast Guard, where he retired as a Training Officer in 1990. Those of us lucky enough to know Daryl will remember him as a generous man who loved life, his family and friends, his community and his country. A man who understood the world he lived in, he reveled in talking politics and was never short of an opinion on just about every aspect of world affairs. He was a voracious reader who never stopped educating himself throughout his life. His creative nature always had him busy with some kind of project. He was a skilled woodworker who loved his workshop and who built his own home. He was an avid outdoorsman who had a great love for, and knowledge of, nature. He was an accomplished artist who was still drawing and painting to his very last day. He was Past Master of The Lodge of St. Marks No. 38 in Halifax and Past Secretary of Mechanics Lodge No. 78 in Caledonia. Daryl is survived by his wife, Dolores (McKee), and his children, Andrew (Sindy) and Adrienne; his sister, Marion Ferris, Saint John, N.B., and his brother, Robert (Mary) Craft, Ottawa, Ont. He was predeceased by sisters, Vivian Garfield and Helen Davidson. In respect for Daryl's wishes, his body was cremated and his ashes will be scattered in a private family ceremony near his home in Maitland Bridge at a later date. There will be no visitation or service. Daryl's wife and family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Dr. Kenneth Buchholz, Dr. Lynne Harrigan, Dr. J. Taiani and the nursing staff of Annapolis Community Health Centre for the wonderful care he received. Thanks as well to Mr. Donald Kaulbach of Kaulbach's Funeral Home in Annapolis Royal for his assistance in our time of need.
