Alden Robert "Bob" Becraft was born at home on Feb. 12, 1923, in College Place, Wash. Parents Virgil and Verda (Burg) Becraft welcomed him into their hearts during the middle of a snowstorm. Bob passed away at home on Sept. 25, 2012 in Tillamook at age 89. Family had gathered by his bedside earlier in the evening, singing favorite songs, sharing memories, reading Scripture, and thanking him for leaving a legacy of integrity and deep love.
Bob grew up a "Preacher's Kid,"? and early on committed his life to Jesus, his Lord and Savior. He graduated from Auburn Academy and attended Walla Walla College before serving in the Army as a noncombatant during World War II. When he was honorably discharged on March 5, 1946, he transferred to La Sierra College, where he met the love of his life, Betty Charlotte Stout. They vowed on June 15, 1947, to love, honor, and cherish each other till death should them part. They honored that covenant for the next 65-plus years, until Bob drew his last breath with Betty by his side. Betty remains, though she will miss him as long as her life shall last.
Bob enjoyed photography, hiking, camping, gardening, swimming, but his greatest joy was time spent immersed in family. Though quiet by nature, he listened wisely, and when he spoke, others listened. He loved adventure and travel, good humor and fun. He was known for practical jokes. He saw the needs around him and loved well.
He leaves behind children: Jim Becraft and wife Susan (Crider) of Oceanside, Tom Becraft and wife Bonnie (Wilson), of Kennewick, Wash., daughter Sue (Becraft) Long and husband Lee of Tillamook, Tim Becraft and wife Noriko (Sugita) of Aloha, and Deanne (Becraft) Williams and husband Stan of Foster; grandchildren, Bobby Becraft and his lady, Jennifer Rickwalt of Seattle, Wash., Andrew Becraft and wife Beth of Seattle, Wash., Nathan Becraft and wife Leanne of San Diego, Calif., Joseph Long and wife Becca of Washougal, Leanna Long of Camas, Wash., Joshua Long and wife Sasha of College Place, Wash., Jamey Long of Scottsdale, Ariz, Jonathan Long and wife Meilani of Damascus, Jeremy Long of Hollywood, Calif., Lanessa Long of Tillamook, Robert Becraft of Aloha, Steven Becraft of Brooklyn, NY, Francis Becraft of Aloha, and Angela Williams of Foster; great-grandchildren, Magdelana and Johannes Long of Washougal, Wash. and Stella Long of College Place; sisters, Margaret Gadreault, Marilyn and her husband Bruce Babienco; brother, Ted Becraft and wife Nico; numerous nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly; and a multitude of people whose lives were better because he lived.
All are thankful for the promise of being reunited in heaven where there will be no more tears.
