To the family of Rev. John G. Crawford. We miss our friend, but we are also aware of the excitement he felt with the approaching 60th anniversary of his ordination. On Thursday, May 18, 2023 will be remembered in 2 masses in Northern Virginia, at Walsh Jesuit High School, and at the 9:00 a.m. Mass at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Gates Mills,OH. See - We were not willing to let the 60th Anniversary of his ordination go unnoticed. In gratitude for his friendship and Ad Multos Annos - and for...

I remember Father Crawford from his time time in Brook Park with Father Peyton before being assigned to St, Francis DeSales Parish. I have been to many of his masses since his days at SFDS, I will always remember his quiet demeanor and gentle delivery. He was a great teacher, RIP Father Jack. I have a nice "thank you" note from him that he sent me for sending him a birthday card. Seems no one sends cards anymore !

Fond memories of his residence at Assumption of Mary in Brook Park, the homilies so rich with doctrine of our faith. Faithful servant Father was and may his reward in heaven be great. -The Przybysz Family

I am sorry about his loss may his memory be eternal.

Fr. Crawford had a wonderful, very thoughtful and holy way of saying the Mass. His every word struck a holy chord in our hearts. Truly a saintly priest.

RIP Doc John. God's Grace to you!

John was a great man, wonderful listener and a phenomenal priest. I enjoyed many a wonderful conversation and always loved hearing his insight on so many topics. I also enjoyed catching up with him on religion and faith and I´m all the more wiser and grateful for his knowledge of Catholicism and his gentle willingness to share his gift of wisdom. I also loved being able to see him now and again socially and join him for dinner and a Chopin. May his soul rest in the arms of the Almighty....

RIP Fr.John G. D.. you taught us well at NDC.. Not sure how you tolerated all the women at one time... especially during important General Hospital episodes to cutting class on St Paddy´s day.. you were one of a kind....
