Memories and Condolences

When I read the obituary in the Post, I immediately recognized that "Bob Crenshaw" was our handyman back in the 1990's after he had retired. I know that Bob and I found each either other through a mutual acquaintance. Just can't remember the specifics.
He left a big impression upon me and my family--a gentleman and a gentle person. The kind of guy everyone wanted to be around. And, oh man, did he know his stuff! He tackled a wide variety of projects at our house in Rockville and impressed us with his work ethic, skill and special "touch" each time. He was a joy to have around.
Bob and I lost track of each other..but again, the minute I read the obituary, I knew this my "my Bob."
I hope all his family members take great joy in the example he set for all of us about how to conduct yourself.

It doesn't matter how old they are, or how ready they are to leave us. It is still impossible for those left behind. Loving you all.

Susan and Debbie, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your dad had an angel waiting for him in heaven. He didn't want to keep her waiting. They are now reunited. Sending hugs to you both. Sorry that I can't be there during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.
