Not sure what to say?

Pop, you were a very knowledgeable teacher who shared many stories about your struggle, I respected you as an elder and as a father in law. I miss your laugh, Rest in Heaven

My sympathy to your family and may God keep your loved one in his memory.

I have fond memories of working with Paul at the Cleve Board of Education at E 6 street. This was in the late 80s.
He kept us laughing all the time.
God Bless!!!!!

My condolences goes to my family. You will always be in my heart and always be missed. Even though your gone you will never be forgotten. Loving you always.

A life well-lived.... fond memories... the heart is comforted by these. Even in sadness, you must feel, pride in the legacy left by someone so special. That spirit will continue to shine, lighting the way for others, leaving all of us an example to follow and a remarkable life to remember with grateful hearts.

Although we are deeply saddened by the loss of a
great principal, he helped make & improve our educational system. Also, we take solace in knowing he is walking hand in hand with the Lord. Mr Crawley was truly an honor in its own right Our prqyers go out to the family during a most difficult time.
