I had the privilege of knowing Joe both in business and pleasure and found him to be a man of the highest integrity, serving his customers with dedication and fulfillment.
In pleasure, he and Linda were delightful, Joe with his infection laugh and sense of humor and Linda her normal loveable self. As we go through life, there are very special people God touches us with and we can say that Joe was a blessing.
We'll miss you, Joe, but thank you that we had the joy of knowing and associating with you and your bride.
Enjoy your rewards.
Your friends,
Pam and Ron Peterson

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Kraft family. Although it had been some time since I saw Joe, I will never forget the smile, laughter, and love he brought with him every time I saw him. I will also never forget the support Joe gave me, personally, during one of the most difficult days of my life.

Linda & Family, Words cannot express our sympathy for all of you. Joe truly was "one of a kind---one of the best". We fondly remember all of the good times we had at IU football games including road trips. After game parties were memorable with Joe doing somersaults in the living room and telling stores (and lies) about his beloved Cubs and Wrigley Field. One of Joe's most famous stunts was showing up with a life jacket and snorkel to drink beer in our hot tub. Hopefully, your faith and all of your wonderful memories will get all of you through this devastating time. So long "Beer Man"....We love you and we will miss you. Tom & Nancy McGrath

Joe Kraft was an amazing father, grandfather, friend, husband, son and psuedo teammate/fraternity brother. He was a man if faith and is in a better place with God.
He always has a glowing smile on his face and brought others along for that fun ride.
He and his laugh will dearly be missed.
Love,
