To my dear friend Shellene and her family - you were so blessed to have a father and grandfather who loved you all so much!  Keeping you in my prayers!  Love - Roberta

I was fortunate to have met Palmer in only the last year and a half. His mere presence commanded a room with a relentless aura of positivity and joy. His devotion to his family was unquestioned. Palmer, you will be dearly missed and never forgotten.

Our deepest sympathy to the Kraft family. Palmer, we will miss seeing and talking to you. You will live on in the many memories you have made for us. Those memories will always bring a smile to our face. We feel blessed to have had the pleasure of your friendship.

Grandpa,

I love you.  You were the funniest one in the whole wide world.  I miss you, Grandpa.

Tomorrow we will be celebrating a life well lived.  Grandpa loved his family; he cradled us all in his arms from birth until his passing days.  Grandpa showered his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids with gifts, but what I will cherish the most was the wonderful example he set for us.  Grandpa knew how to love life better than anyone – he was always cracking jokes, laughing, and living in the moment.  Even when he didn't feel well no one ever knew, he was strong until the very end.  Grandpa taught me so much about life, love, and true happiness.  He was thoughtful and considerate until his dying days; there truly are not words to adequately describe his giving nature.  Grandpa was at every birthday party, graduation, and event to support me.  Once I had Kelina he came and visited us every weekend as he had once done when Sarah, John, Brian, and I were young – I will cherish these memories forever.  Grandpa will always live in our hearts and prayers.  Until we meet again, Grandpa – I love you.

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel in the loss of your Father, Grandfather, Great- Grandfather, Brother and Uncle.  May beautiful memories live forever in your hearts...Love and Prayers,  Don & Juanita

Uncle Palmer was like a second dad to me and my brother.  He always had humorous things to say to make us happy and lift our spirits.  Uncle Palmer was excellent at everything he did and I will always love him.

Shellene, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know your Dad loved you all deeply. He was a good man and was always there whenever you needed him. He was a kind soul and loving man and could sure make us laugh. You are always in my thoughts and prayers

My heart is filled with sorrow with the passing of my wonderful father.  I feel so privileged and blessed to have been the daughter of such a caring, giving, and loving man.  

Although Dad's body grew aged, his heart and mind remained young and playful.  Dad loved to tease and joke around; that is a great gift to have and share.  He also willingly gave his time to help others and when the time came that Dad needed help, it was there for him in return.

More than anything else, Dad loved his family.  He was an outstanding father, grandfather and great-grandfather.  He kept his friends for a lifetime.  There has been such an outpouring of love and respect from those who knew my father; I was taken aback by the scope of his generosity and love he had for others.  This is an everlasting tribute to my father, Palmer Kent Kraft.  

Rest in peace Daddy-Love and Prayers Always,

Shellene

I am so sorry for the loss of your father, grandfather... May the fond memories you all shared as a family comfort you during this difficult time.  All my best and I will keep you in my prayers.

Our sincerest condolences to the family for the loss of your beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother.  We are thinking of you.                 
Don and Billie-Ann Pagliasotti
