Dear Arlene,
My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. My prayers and thoughts have been with you this past month. John's spirit was amazing and will live on in the very many people he has touched with his kindness.

Arlene,

I was truly sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a wonderful man. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Arlene:

"Someone who has truly touched us will always be close through the joy of memories and the beauty of love." May those memories provide you strength and continued faith.
You and your family are in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Arlene,
Our thoughts are with you. John was a pleasure to know and work with. I treasure the gifts he brought back from your trips to the Middle East. We loved seeing you both when you were in Montana, and always think of you when we pass the B&B you stayed at while in Missoula.

Christa and Arlene,

The first image that comes to mind when I think of John Crewdson is actually Christmas - and how every year you would all save an ornament for me to put on the tree. He always remembered and always made me feel a part of your family.

Dear Arlene - I was so very sorry to hear of John's passing. I remember meeting him when I was at Jobs For Youth years ago. With my sincere condolences to you and your family,

My deepest sympathy to you. Literally, the day I heard about John's death, Kathy Burch (Kampwirth) and I were having a conversation about who was the nicest person we knew. We both agreed, John Crewdson was that person. I am lucky to have great friends and extended family, but the nicest man I ever met was a guy I saw three times a year. John exuded warmth and good cheer and fellowship. I will miss him. Bless you. Love, Gene

Dear Arlene,
It was a terrible shock to read this so soon after we had such a vibrant conversation with you and John at the Arts Foundation anniversary celebration. I hope the birthday celebration you two enjoyed together can ease the suddenness of John's passing.

All the best,
Katharine Nathan

Arlene, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what an empty space this will leave and my thoughts are with you.
