So sorry for your loss. May God Bless you all. He was a funny, caring, and loving father- in- law to me. Even though I haven't seen Mr. Crisp in awhile, I've always thought of him and his family through the years. RIP Mr. Crisp

Dear Laura and Family:

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They remain in our decisions, thoughts, and acts, and continue to leave wonderful memories to cherish forever. Even though Dick and I have not crossed paths for many years, I fondly remember the wonderful times and years we shared together while employed by the Bethel Local School District many years ago. May you and your family find peace and comfort in your heart and soul in the days and weeks ahead.

In deepest Sympathy,
Bill and Delores Berry

My deepest sympathy to Laura and family. Laura and I were friends for many years when we lived in Reynoldsburg. Our children went to school together and we worked as volunteers at French Run School. I have many fond memories of visiting with Dick and Laura in their home.
Dick loved his work and was undoubtedly one of the best teachers of his time.
He was a good husband and father and I am sure he will be missed by many.

Mr. Crisp was my history teacher in the late 70s. He was tough, didn't take any nonsense from the kids, and loved what he taught! All of those things made him a great teacher. I learned a great deal from him.
