Mr. Crowder was a wonderful man! Always made me laugh when he came into my office and I loved all the stories he would tell. He will be greatly missed! My thoughts and prayers are with the family

My Grandparents lived across the street from Mr. and Mrs. Crowder for many years. Without fail, Mr. Crowder brought a Thanksgiving turkey and a Christmas ham to them every year. I can still see the smile he brought to my Grandparents faces. I will always be grateful for his kindness. Thinking of you with sympathy in the loss of your Father.

I am so glad that my family and I had the opportunity to know "Mister Bo" at church. Every Sunday, he would work his way to my three daughters and speak to them. They looked forward to seeing him each week. He often spoke of his "three little girls" to my girls and they hung on his every word. He was a blessing and will be missed.

Even though I only have known Bo a short time, I enjoyed my conversations with him and the stories he had to tell. He reminded me so much of my own father. We will miss that bright smile and sunny disposition at church on Sunday mornings.
