Dear Crawford family; Sorry to read of the passing of Bob. I always think of the Crawfords as the Crawford boys and of course Mrs Fawley. What a great family-- lots of fun and lots of interest in what was going on the area. Sports school activities and community affairs. Bob was always active and a person to share his enthusiam. May God give you all comfort at this time as we all think of Bob and family. Skip and Kristen

Dear Crawford family, sorry to hear about Bob. I bowled in the same league as Bob the last several years and it won't be the same without him there. It was fun to listen to his stories and I always looked forward to talking with him while I was there. Hope I too can bowl as well as he did when I am in my 80s.
