Ward/Kraft, Inc. Mourns Loss

Mr. Harold Kraft, co-founder of Ward/Kraft, Inc., passed away on Tuesday, June 5, 2007 after a courageous seven year fight with ALS.

(PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- Mr. Harold E. Kraft passed away Tuesday, June 5, 2007, after a courageous seven year fight with ALS. Mr. Kraft founded Ward/Kraft Inc. in 1972 along with J.W. "Jude" Ward who preceded him in death. Mr. Kraft often requested that the members of the Ward/Kraft family call him "Harold" even though it seemed almost disrespectful then, as it does now, to do so. Those who knew him personally know that Harold was not just a brilliant business man, but a caring, generous man of integrity who loved God and family. While he will be missed on this earth, we are confident that he is waiting for us all in heaven. Mr. Harold Kraft's funeral was held Friday, June 8, 2007. Memorials are suggested to the Apostolic Memorial Fund and may be left in care of the Cheney Witt Memorial Chapel, 201 S. Main, PO Box 347, Fort Scott, KS 66701.

The Senior Management of Ward/Kraft, Inc.; Roger Kraft, Owner and CEO, Michael Del Chiaro, President, Mark Tucker, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing, Joe Baker, Vice President, Finance, Gina Holt, Vice President, Business Development/Sales; and the members of Ward/Kraft, Inc. are committed to maintaining Ward/Kraft's position as the leader in innovative business and document solutions. Equally, we will continue to strengthen WK's Legacy of Customer Service, Innovation, Integrity and Industry Leadership that Mr. Harold Kraft and Mr. J.W. "Jude" Ward founded the company on in 1972.
