Richard E. Crandall

Cruel fate gave you so little time after your harsh diagnosis. How unfair. My deepest thanks for inviting me into your band of musical misfits way back when. I've been listening to your Spring Fallout album again with something like shock and awe. Your many science/math accomplishments have overshadowed your brief but intense musical career. Forming the band Central Nervous System and recording the Chameleons got buried in the mists of history, but never in my memory. I see our brash...

The community has lost a gifted and accessible friend...an iconic Reedie. My condolences to all who miss him.

We are so sorry to hear this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I really enjoyed my contacts with Richard over many years. He was a brilliant man.
He was a very entertaining charismatic professor who also gave talks for amateur astronomy groups. He will be greatly missed.
