To the Crumwell family, I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Crumwell's death. I was one of many students Dr. Crumwell helped in the Tomorrow's Teachers Program with Roanoke City School and Virginia Tech. He certainly impacted my life in a positve way and contributed to me continuing my teaching career in North Carolina after fulfilling my teaching obligations in Roanoke. He will be missed. .

Aunt Peggy, My heart is with you in this time of sorrow. My heart aches because it seems like yesterday when Uncle Sid and I would talk about what was going on in each other lives and how to maintain. I know that i will not have that any longer, but i know that now he will watch over me to make sure that i am still going in the right direction. I love you.
