Don Crawford Obituary

CRAWFORD, Don, "Granny Goose", passed away at Devon Gables on May 7, 2011, following a long illness. Animal lover, day dreamer, musician, successful composer and finally a Tucson window washer, Don was one of the gentlest men to walk the surface of this earth. He made the life of anyone who knew him more interesting. At his request there will be no services but donations in his memory will be appreciated by the Humane Society. Arrangements by DESERT ROSE CREMATION AND BURIAL.

I will never forget his weekly greeting of...."Howdy,Howdy"!
Although Don simply washed our windows and cleaned our floors, he also threw ball for 4 different dogs...and watched our kids grow up. He was gentle, honest, intelligent, and artistic.
He was a good man, a good son, and a good friend, and I will miss him.
