Ronald F. Craft

Ronald F. Craft, 68, of Bellville, passed away Tuesday, April 19, 2016, from a sudden illness at OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital. He was born December 3, 1947, in Benton Harbor, Michigan, to Ora and Angie Craft.

He was a member of the Ontario Sons of Amvets Post #31 and Lexington Moose Lodge #2511. Ron retired from General Motors after 33 years of service-25 years at Kalamazoo, Michigan and 8 years at the Ontario plant. He enjoyed fishing, golf, and riding his motorcycles. Smoking and cooking various meats was a favorite pastime, as well as making jell-o shots. Family was very important to him and he was always putting everyone else first. Helping others was second nature to Ron.

To all his friends, it's Miller time for the last time.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia L. Craft; daughter, Veronica L. (Lou) Klinkert of Ontario; daughter-in-law, Leslie Craft; and two grandchildren, Alyssa and Andrea Craft of Paw Paw, Michigan. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Ronald F. Craft Jr. and first wife, Verna L. Craft.

A Gathering of friends and family will be held Saturday, April 23, 2016, from 3-5 p.m. at the Ontario Home of Wappner Funeral Directors, 100 S. Lexington-Springmill Road, Ontario, Ohio.
