Beth,

My tardy condolences. It was with deep sadness that I learned of Georges passing. We became friends when engaged in the fine work of the International Society for Educational Planning where his efforts strengthened that organization and set an example of true leadership for all of our members. He was one of the good ones, forward thinking, welcoming, and supportive. The times you, George, Ron Lindahl and I shared over meals have been, and are, deeply valued. His humor...

I remember George singing "We Three Kings Of Orient Are" at one of our school Christmas programs at Rome-Canaan High School in Ohio. I was in grade school and he was probably a junior or senior. I can close my eyes and see him standing on the stage in our gym and hear him singing. What a voice. I will never forget him singing that song - he was awesome.

Condolences to the family, remembering as childhood friends, Schoolmates,Neighbor, he will be missed. Sergeant Major Wayne J Davis Retired

I remember Carolyn from High School...remember when her mother passed away...my thoughts are with her and her family. Carol Brown

I was very blessed to have one of my visually impaired students attending Centennial School when Dr. Crawford served as principal. He was a gentleman and a gentle man. I am very saddened to hear of his death. What a beautiful voice he had! He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

My deepest to you and your family, Beth. George and you always made me feel very welcome during my time attending Trinty. I enjoyed our conversations, and his singing was wonderful. You both have given so much to TLC and the community. I hope you are surrounded by their love and support, both now and in the future.

George was just a super person. We were enchanted with him immediately when we met many years ago. Our prayers are with you, Beth, and the children.

Our condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Crawford. May his gift of leadership continue to influence and light the paths to those he lead in their educational endeavours.
