smy34 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Mr. Craton was a partnet in the surveying firm of Bentley-Craton Group on Main St in Dallas. He first started in the business with Cecil Ray Kelly....Our thoughts go out to his family. Link to post Share on other sites

Subby Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Did Mr. Craton work for Dept. of Natural Resources? If this is the same David I know about, he worked with a surveyor in town (Dallas). I was going to go to work in his stead, as he was in the hospital a lot and not doing well. If this is the same guy I had heard so much about, he was a pioneering genius in our line of work, very intuitive and known for his ability to design his own programs, in a time when such technology was limited. He was a legend, in a sense, to many of us in my profession. The community has lost a great asset. May he finally rest in peace, and all of his fruits on this earth be recognized and flourish through those whom he had taught so much. He will be sorely missed. Link to post Share on other sites

JamieShay Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 David Craton, My father-in-law, was a wonderful man. He found out back in September that he had Cancer and it really was hard for the family. He fought a hard battle with it. He did have 2 children, Ansley and Nikki Craton. We all just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the thoughts, prayers and kind words. Link to post Share on other sites
