Our deepest condolences to Stormy's loved ones; especially to Pat, married last march! Have been praying for her support "hard" since the last Crohops get-together. Am praying even harder now.

Very sad day today. I was privileged to be friends with Kathy, this is how I knew of the WBS. I became fascinated once I visited and learned from the volunteers and workers. I heard stories about Mr Crawford. What an amazing adventure he has had. My condolences to the family, he will truly be be missed. I am glad I got to meet him only for a minute. His journey will continue thru all that care...

The AMERICAN LEGION Stockham Memorial Post honors the memory of WALTER "Stormy" CRAWFORD, conservationist and Legionnaire "extraordinaire."
We were honored to have Stormy speak at one of our recent meetings--and his enthusiasm, dedication and patriotism were treasured by all in attendance that day.
May "Stormy" Rest in Peace, and may all of you be consoled when reflecting on his remarkable life and career.
Sincerely,
The Bereavement Committee of the
AMERICAN LEGION

What a true gentleman and hero. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Crawford at the St. Louis grass-roots "Welcome Home" parade, in January 2012. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his respect for our Veterans was immeasurable. God bless you Walt. You will not be forgotten!

My thoughts go to Walt's family, loved ones, and all of those whom he touched . I went to high school with his son, and college with his nephew. I have always been inspired by his commitment to conservation and the biology. Rest in peace.
