Our Father was a super caring man. He always made himself available to help. Whether it was to work on our cars watch our children, help us move, fix something that broke… he was a right there kind of guy! We remember the family vacations and our back yard bbques! Dad enjoyed bowling, shooting guns, riding his Harley Davidson, and Traveling East to be with all his family! Dad was always a laid back easy going guy! In this we learned to enjoy the simplicity of life and how important it is to not overcomplicate things. We will never forget, dads silly, some day sarcasm, we say "Crawford humor." Nor will we forget his smile or the twinkle in his eyes when we knew he was proud of us!

Funeral services will be held at the Needmore Bible Church, Needmore, PA, at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, July 6th,  with Pastor Doug Poffenberger officiating. There will be one hour of visitation prior to the service at the church.

Interment will be at Needmore Bible Church Cemetery, Needmore, PA.
