I am sorry to be so late with this, but I just read the post. Aunt Isabelle Crain was my Grandmother's sister (Delie Dykes) I remember stories my dad (Henry Gentry) used to tell lovingly of this family. So sorry for your loss. Cricket Gentry Pichon
Buford Crain was a very good friend to my father, Thomas Tedder. They worked on their doctorate degree at USM together. Dr. Crain gave me silver diaper pens with my name on them when I was born, 62 years later I still have them! He was a wonderful man.
Deepest condolences to all the family and friends. I attended church with Mr. Buford in Meridian,MS and enjoyed singing with him in the choir. I will treasure all the education stories and his childhood stories he shared with me over the couple years we delivered meals to shut in individuals in the Meridian area. He was a very intelligent, witty and compassionate Christian. I am a better person by knowing him. May God's perfect and constant comfort be very real to you all.
He was my math teacher in the 8th and 9th grades at Bogalusa Junior High School. I recall vividly his teaching us how to factor polynomials, which I put to good use in math classes at West Point. We recently reconnected at local church service and I visited him while he was still active and living in Meridian in May 2013. He was a highly respected teacher who had a positive impact on many lives.
Bro. Bufford founded an "Young at Heart" fellowship group for anyone over 55 years of age. He was faithful to that cause for several years, always presenting well planned programs . We also went on several field trips . we traveled to the Smokey mountains one year a wonderful trip .We remember Bro Bufford with fond memories May God Bless and comfort you and family .
Bufford was a distant cousin. I enjoyed reading his Crain genealogy book "Tangled Threads"
