I worked for Dale at Crafton's Glass from 1987-1991. I truly believe that I am a better person for having known Dale. He was one of the finest men I have ever known. I learned a lot about work, and life, from him.  He wanted the best for everyone in his life. When I told him I was going to quit Crafton's and go to the Lubbock Police Department, he told me that all he wanted for me, was for me to be happy in life. The world will be a lesser place without Dale. My condolences to the family.

Just sending my thoughts and prayers to all of you.  I know my daddy and Leo Woods were there to greet him and give him hell for taking so long to come join them! I sat many times at the coffee house as a little girl listening to their funny stories, their exaggerations and watching real friendships these men had with each other. Billy Beadles loved him some Dale Crafton! But Dale Crafton could give Billy Beadles some fits!!! Dale will be missed but never forgotten.  He loved his family with all his heart.

We moved in across the street from Dale 5 years ago, he was a great neighbor and friend, I was amazed at his energy at his age taking care of his place, his horses, he will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers for his family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Peggy and the family at this time. I met Dale in 1966 at Ave H Glass. I never knew anyone who could get so much done in such a little time. But that was Dale. From 1972 to 2008 I saw a lot of Dale and Marvin when I worked for Villa Olds and then Hub City Body Works. It was quite a show when those two were in the room at the same time. In 1985 we built our home and Crafton Glass did mirrors and tub enclosures for us. I never could get Dale to send me a bill . Those are still in place today. That was my old co-worker and friend. I will miss him. Tommy Novak

I had the honor of working for this wonderful man for several years at Crafton’s Glass. He was a wonderful man who will be greatly missed. 

It was truly a Blessing too know this find man and work for him.
  Thought and Prayers are with the Dale Crafton family. 

Worked for that man 28 years straight. Never missed a paycheck. Raised 2 lovely daughters during that time. He will be missed.
