Not sure what to say?

Dr. Crum was a great individual whom I fondly remember from my days as a "page" and student assistant at the Kalamazoo Public Library some fifty plus years ago. I was saddened to read of Dr. Crum's passing and pray for comfort for his family.

Thank you very much Mark for letting me discover my inner self. Your warm smile and huge heart will never be forgotten. You served your country, respected others, and that's what life is all about.

My thoughts and prayers go to the family of such a wonderful person. I had the opportunity to meet Mark at the Comstock library, he was so helpful and such a wonderful cheerful person, what a kind heart. He will indeed be missed by all that had a chance to meet him. My condolences to his family.

Great sadness in reading of Dr. Crum's death, but many pleasant memories of working for him at KPL and the joy he gave my daughter and I by taking us flying with him on two occasions. Thank you Dr. Crum for being the kind person you were and may God Bless. Condolences to those loved ones left behind.

Mark and I worked together at the Comstock Library for 5 short years. He was brilliant, funny, helping to all, never said a harsh word to or about anyone. He will be sorely missed by all.
