  2. Prayers for the family and frinds of Dennis, I am sad to hear this I just spoke with him a few days ago, it’s so hard to believe that someone can be here today and then gone the next. May you rest in peace, dear friend. God has another angel today.

  3. Dear Kraft Family, My deepest Sympathy for your loss. Dennis was a wonderful man. Very kind & caring. I’m sorry for you loss. Dennis will be missed. Beverly

  4. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to the Kraft family for your loss. Dennis was my neighbor and dear friend, who would always go out of his way to make sure I was ok and would always lend a hand to help. He had such a kind and gentle Soul…his Spirit touched alot of people, and will be greatly missed. May God and the Heaven’s embrace you now, and Rest in Peace, My Friend.

  5. Dear Joyce and families, So sorry to read about Dennis’ passing. May you be comforted by our heavenly Father at this most difficult time.

  6. I can’t believe that he will never “accidentally” call me again (my number is close to one he called often) and several times he got my me by mistake. Sometimes we got to talk for a long time catching up on family. We had so many adventures growing up; so many memories.

  7. I cared deeply for Mr Kraft as I called him for years, before finally realizing he had become a friend, through delivering his meals. I fell in love with his beloved dog, Scout, and mourned with him when he passed. He always had a kind word, & was usually upbeat & hopeful about the world, which left me a richer person for knowing him. I am so sad he will no longer be with us on this side, but my faith tells me, he’s making a lot of angels laugh as much as he did me. Thank you Dennis!

  8. Dennis was one of the kindest souls I ever knew. Though it’s been many years since I last saw him, he left a memorable impression on the many people who knew him. My condolences to his family.

  9. I am very sorry to hear of Dennis’ passing. We worked together at Wuest’s Grocery in the late 1970’s and early 80’s. He was one of my favorite co-workers there. He taught me patience and diligence in my work, for which I am grateful. He will always be remembered well.

  10. Oh I’m so sorry Dennis that I have not been able to come up to visit. I love, you were my best friend in New Braunfels. I will miss you dearly. Until we meet again. With love. Twila.
