Bill Kraft of Frisco, Texas passed away peacefully on September 1, 2020 at the seasoned age of 91. Bill Kraft grew up in Baltimore, Maryland where he was raised by his eccentric, albeit doting, parents Harry and Myrtle Kraft, along with his sister Janet Ruth, who always continued to be one of his closest friends. Bill fondly recalled, “the good old days” of his youth playing baseball pick-up games, listening to radio programs like Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie, and sledding down the neighborhood street in the winter. He sustained his childlike wonder and optimistic outlook throughout the triumphs and tribulations of his life. Bill served in the Maryland National Guard, worked as a draftsman drawing blueprints for everything from electronics to intercontinental missiles, and later, as a salesman specializing in pad printing machines. His genuine personality and natural charisma made him an ideal salesman, so much so that “he could sell you a ticket to hell and you’d be excited to go!” Most of all, he enjoyed his post-retirement job as a door greeter at Sam’s club in Plano, Texas. There, he made friends from around the world, did everything he could to make children smile, all while displaying the watchfulness of one of the Queen’s guards. Over the years, Bill remained grounded in his faith and ensured that his family reserved a seat in one of the front pews at church each Sunday. Bill loved to draw the characters from Charlie Brown’s Peanuts gang, tell jokes and stories (he maintained his impeccable memory until the end), root for the Rangers and Cowboys, and spend priceless moments with his family. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, of 59 years who he cherished dearly. Bill was a proud father to his children Christopher and Susan, and an energetic grandfather to Austin, Holly, Catherine, and Alex. Bill was a man who made a positive impact on every life that he touched. He knew how to prioritize the things that are truly important and reassured us not to worry when the going got tough. I.A.W.O (It Always Works Out).
