Bio

Daddy of Linda Kay, Kathy, Lillie and Joanie. Just thinking about my savior Jesus Christ and my earthly savior, my dad. He lived his life for Christ, loved all and gave all he had to others. He would drive our school bus to Houston or Dallas to take all the school kids to the zoo or the fair or rodeo and do it for free for the love of the Latexo kids. Family would request him to go see their family members in prison to share the word of God and to be present for their death in the electric chair. He would be the last person on earth to share the gospel with them. After all he went through in WW ll it wasn't easy on him. I remember him saying that the inmate would turn blue before death and how he felt in that dark room. I would cry for him. He married and buried many people in the area. Preached salvation, he was an evangelist in all sense of the word. For those of you who knew him you know what I'm saying. He and mama adopted myself and Linda when we were babes. He taught me how to love like Jesus. Kathy Craig
