James Edmond Craft, Sr., 83, of Port Deposit, MD passed away Sunday, September 6, 2015.
Born May 10, 1932 in Rocks, MD, Jim was the son of the late Bert and Marie (Holbrook) Craft. Jim owned and operated the Chuck House restaurant from 1988 to 1992. He enjoyed being outdoors surrounded by nature, especially walking through the woods with his beloved dogs. He was a gifted artiest and enjoyed bringing beauty to the world as expressed through his works. He was very knowledgeable of the Bible, astrology, astronomy, and our universe. He wrote very beautiful love notes in every card his wife ever received from him. Jim was a very caring person, especially regarding creatures that could not help themselves. From your hairy kids; Comet, your Daddy is with you; Missy and Tigger miss you very much.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of 35 wonderfully interesting years, Eileen Craft; two sons, James E. Craft, Jr. and Scott Craft; two step-daughters, Tereasa Wright and Kelly Barton; 18 grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren; 3 brothers, 2 sisters; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Barb and I want to express our condolences to the rest of the family. I'm so sorry that we won't be able to attend the Celebration of Life. I am also thankful that I was able to see James just a few short weeks ago. It was so great to talk to him and reminisce about family. I'm sure he is at peace now with the loved ones that have gone before him. Again, our sincerest condolences. Bob and Barbara Johnson
