ALLEN BROOKS CRANE

We can't believe it's been 7 years already since you left us all. We all often talk and reminisce about the" Claussen Days" with very fond memories. Thanks for being there always for my boys "Alvin", we miss you...RIP

Dear Jan, Brian and Brooks,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Every time I walk by your onetime home on Main Street, the lush profusion of flowers reminds me that your family once lived there. His legacy lives on, green and growing. May you find comfort and peace.

Allen Crane taught me so much. I worked at Claussens in high school back in the late 70's early 80's. I bought my first car, and Allen Crane taught me how to keep it running! When I ran my go cart into the front of a greenhouse, he helped me fix it, (the cart and the greenhouse) :). I owe almost all of the mechanical aptitude that I possess today to just listening to Allen Crane and everything he taught me. I know a lot of my questions he probably thought were dumb, but he always answered...

May you know that family and friends are often thinking of you, not only at this time, but in the days that follow too!

Jan, Brian and Brooks, My deepest sympathies for your loss. Allen was a wonderful person, willing to help anyone. I hope the many great memories help you all through this difficult time. Love, Jessica and John

Dear Brian and family,

Dear Jan, Brian, Brooks,And families, We are sorry for the loss to you and your families. He was an incredible man, Dad, Husband, and friend and will be missed. Our lives were richer for knowing him and I am glad you all had each other for as long as he battled this disease. May you all revel in his legacy of the family you built together. Much Love, Tj, Lin and family

Jan and Family,
I will always remember the years when we were mixed up teenagers and the time we spent working and admiring Allen's genius as he could fix anything! If we had a problem or question, we went and asked Allen as he pretended to act like he didn't care.....we knew he did. God bless your family as you are in our thoughts and prayers.
