David E. Becraft , a retired furnace and air conditioning repairman, died Saturday of colon cancer at Gilchrest Center for Hospice Care. He was 47.
Mr. Becraft, who was known to almost everyone as "Porkchop" because of his childhood fondness for them, lived in the Dulany Street rowhouse in Southwest Baltimore, where he was raised.
"He made the best beef stew I ever tasted," said a friend of 20 years, Nancy Sequoyah. "He loved everything. He loved soft-shell crabs and shrimp, and he made the best steamed shrimp you ever tasted. If you went to his house for dinner, you had four or five things to choose from, plus salads. He would cook for days.
