Dr. Crowe was more than a fantastic surgeon; he was a wonderful caring human being. We will never forget you. Jim and Susan Harry

On this day, 45 years ago. Dr. Crowe saved my daughter's life by performing a surgical procedure which was only performed twice before in NYC. Each year for many years I would send him a thank-you. He lived a good life and contributed so much to the medical field and his patients. We lived in Tucson at the time and were from PA. I will always remember him on this day. He was special and I am sure he has a special place in Heaven.

Another year gone by, but the memory and love for this very special man is as strong as ever.

I met Dr. Crowe when he operated on a very sick baby and I was a scrub nurse. He saw me in the hallway where I was holding the tiniest and very sick crying baby who was about to go into surgery. He asked me if I liked the baby and I replied "I love this baby!" He said, "Well, she's up for adoption are you interested?" I immediately say "Yes!" He said, okay, I'll go make some calls.

Dr. "Pete" Crowe and I were the two surgeons on the carrier USS Lexington in 1956 in the Western Pacific. I am saddened to find his
Obituary, when I had looked forward to finding him in Tucson in the past years. I would like to contact his wife Franny or any descendents
to share some wonderful tales about this great humanitarian and excellent physician.

Dear Fran, One year has not diminished our thoughts and remembrance of Dr. Crowe. The thought of him is ever present in our hearts. When we look at our beautiful Kimberly we know having her for these past 47 years is because we were blessed to have Dr. Crowe on our side. Without him she would not have survived. We will never forget him. God Bless You

Dear Franny,
I just learned of Peter's graduation to be with our Lord. Now he and Jay can share in that joy.
I remember our talks about our Lord, and pray now for His comfort for you and the family, and may your beautiful memories of a truly kind and gentle man uplift you.
Sincerely, with love,
Margie Grosfeld

Mrs. Crowe,
Dr. Crowe was my inspiration to pursue a career as a pediatric surgeon. I had so much respect for him that I never was able to use his first name. He was a giant to me and I will never forget his unqualified support. I wish you all good things in the future and please know that Dr. Crowe touched many, many lives, as he did my own.

R.I.P. Dr. Crowe. You hold a special place in my heart as you saved my daughter's life when she was not quite 3 months old.(Now 41) Our Lord has welcomed you with open arms.
