Kraft family, my deepest condolences on this huge loss. I had the distinct pleasure of having Mr. Kraft as my elementary school principal at Franklin Public school from September 1981 onwards. I have very clear memories of being in Mr. Kraft's office, not for troublemaking, but on one occasion that pops into my mind, to get a treat for having lost a tooth in class. He was always the warmest, kindest and best dressed man! Working together with Mrs. Johnson as his secretary, I never understood the other children who thought of the Principal's office as a place to fear. It was, for me, a place I felt safe and cared for. His loss is huge, but his impact on so many children in the Waterloo region over the years is larger.
