Uncle Aaron is what I knew him as, he was always there for me and my family, in time of need. We loved him very much, and he will be greatly missed. But I know he is enjoying the fellowship of those who gone on before and having a good ole time.

I am honored to say I knew him... Mr. Crawford passed away. AND we knew he served in the service, BUT NONE of us knew that he had 2 BRONZE stars. And this is what the bronze star means: The Bronze Star Medal is the fourth-highest military decoration and is awarded for bravery, heroism or meritorious service.
HE NEVER TOLD ANYONE! TO ME THAT IS 1 HEROIC man! I thank God that I knew him. And THANK him for his service to our Country. You will be missed.
