Not sure what to say?

Thank you, coach Crichton, for sparking a lifelong passion for running. I ran the Falmouth Road Race again this year, with my 15 year old son, my wife, and my 13 year old daughter, all of whom I coaxed into running after your years of teaching me the sport (despite me best efforts to frustrate you). Yours is a fine example of a life well lived, and I am truly lucky having known you as a mentor, running coach, and friend.

Andrew,
May you be at peace now with your dear wife. I was blessed to have gotten to know you and hear your witty remarks in person for myself. You have left a mark on my heart always.
Sending my thoughts and love to your boys and family in this sad time.

As you remember your love one, as God heals your broken hearts (Psalm 147:3), may your treasured memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength to endure.

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who binds up the broken-hearted comforts all who mourn sustain your family during this challenging time (Isaiah 61: 1,2.) Sincerely.

My uncle Andy was a delightful soul with a sense of humor and in possession of the celtic storytelling gift. He was truly one of a kind. Hard to believe he is gone.
