Elvis Haycraft, 88 years old, left us in this earthly world Saturday, April 4, 2020 in Louisville, KY. He was born August 14, 1931 in Snap, KY, and grew up the tenth child (out of thirteen) of a farmer and road commissioner. He was the first of his family to go to college and eventually even lived in England, but never forgot his roots. He was known for his quick humor, his sharp wit, and his kind and generous heart. Ultimately, this big heart failed him physically but emotionally touched everyone. He had a presence everywhere he went. He was a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force during the Korean War and worked over 35 years for Pillsbury, from which he retired. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, two children, nine grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren, who will all miss him terribly. He was preceded in death by one child and one great-grandchild.
Due to measures to combat the Corona Virus, services are limited to a few immediate family members. Flowers are accepted at Arch Heady Funeral Home, 3601 Taylor Blvd. by April 7. Charitable donations in his name to the American Heart Association or the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation are welcome.
