I met Mr. Crafford while working at St. Rep. Tina Davis’ office.  He was the nicest man and I looked forward to seeing him.  He always sent us greetings by email for every holiday.  After leaving the office, I would often ask about him.  I am so sorry for your loss & ours.

God Bless Robert! Rest in peace, Pam, Ian, Donna & Joe,  know my heartfelt condolences are with you & your families in this time of grievance, wishing you peace & comfort as you celebrate your Dad’s, grandfather, great grandfather’s life. 
                                   With deepest sympathy,
                                                       Chris & family

I am Roberts daughter in law married to his youngest  son Ian.  Thank you for all the kind words and messages that have been sent out for Robert. i am very grateful of having Robert and Izabella as my in-laws and grandparents to our children.     Robert was......an INTERESTING man ......  that grew on you.     his passion for scotland was as dedicated as it comes   we will alway remember his knowledge and how devoted to the family he was.   a celebration of 91 years of life I can honestly say should b done (of course w bagpipes and kilts)   he showed apprecition for everyrhing he had in his life.    the internet world and  facebook will never b the same again.     .  we will miss him alot.   may he rest in piece

I met Robert bowling. What a wonderful person. He was so proud of his family always sharing pictures. I’m going to miss Robert helping me to pick out new EAGLES gear and he would find pictures of me in EAGLES gear and frame them for me. RIP my dear friend. You were loved🙏🏾❤️

We are so very sorry to hear of your Father's passing. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

We were so sad to hear of Robs passing.  We met Rob through
Senior bowling a few years back.  He was such a kind and gentle  
soul and  we will truly miss him.   Our prayers are with his
family and friends, as they step through their loss of such  a
wonderful man!

Sorry to hear of Robert's passing. He and his wife always showed a lot of support for me at Scottish Festivals and we did visit them when he had a brief stay in Scotland. Still kept in touch on facebook. Will always remember them both with fondness.

I am so sorry for your loss. Although Robert and I never met in person, he was a dear online friend, and our connection meant a great deal to me.

Robert’s online presence truly was something special to me. He was a kind man who always made sure to send a thoughtful message on birthdays and holidays.

We first crossed paths because I was researching my long-lost great-great-grandfather—a Dane separated from his family in Iceland during the First World War who eventually settled in America and married Robert’s aunt, Meg, becoming Robert's uncle. In return, I was able to help uncover and share information about Robert’s father’s roots. He even sent me cherished photos of my great-great-grandfather, an immeasurable gift for a family that had spent over a century searching for him.

Over time, checking for Robert’s Facebook updates became a comforting routine for me, a reassuring reminder that he was still out there making the world a little more beautiful. While I am deeply saddened by his passing, I take comfort in knowing he is now reunited in heaven with his beloved wife and the ancestors who first brought our paths together.

So sorry to hear of Roberts passing. He was a sweet man. Always had a kind word to say. I would stop and chat with Robert when he would sit outside his condo, on my way to mine as we both lived on Naomi Court. One of my memory's of Robet, was he always knew when we were leaving my daughter's condo as she lived above Roberts condo. He would say " oh, Jeanine left late today, when she was leaving for work, lol. "
you will be missed, Rest in Peace, my friend.
