Richard Earle Crane

I am so sorry to read the lost of a great doctor. I worked with Dr. Crane at St. Joe's 35 years ago. He was a great Doctor. He was also my OB/GYN until the day he retired. He delivered my son. I was due in Oct. so he made my due date his birthday. I always remember his birthday every year (my son was not born on his birthday though, about 3 weeks earlier on Oct. 8th). He always seem to have time for you and would listen and cared. He was a very caring doctor. I remember when I worked...

Lynda, Kelly and Brian,
Words can not express my deep pain and saddness at the loss of Dr. Crane. Dr. Crane was most unique in so many ways. So professional, yet sincerely compassionate and caring. He has been a dear friend for over 29 years and close confidant for the last 13 years. He had many loves, his family, his work, his country, travel, photography, history, but the great of all was the arrival of his grandsons. He could not believe how wonderful it was to be a grandfather!! He...

My thoughts and prayers are with the family for the days to come. Dr. Crane was a really great guy, always joking around and always had a smile on his face. He'd come over to Dr. Lunseth's (where I worked) we'd talk about diving, the BUC's etc. I so sad to hear of his passing, he will be truly missed by many.My deepest sympathy to you.

our prayers are with all of you. We were so sad to hear about Dick and will always remember the wonderful, fun times in Tampa. We are thinking of you.

Our thoughts and prayers from all the Gowdy family. We are so sad to hear of your lost and so remember all the wonderful, fun times in Tampa. Our love to each of you.

I was so sorry to learn of Dick's passing. My deepest sympathy to you and your family Lynda. Having recently lost my Sherwin in 2006, I can certainly emphathisize with you all. Our paths crossed way back when our children were at Berkely together, we both lived on Samara Drive; and, we were in the Tampa Symphony Guild together. I will be happy to do anything I can to help during this tough time.

I was saddened to hear of Dick's death. I always enjoyed our conversations in the doctor's lounge. I will remember him for his professionalism, sense of humor, and deep patriotism.

Dear Lynda,

I will always remember my Uncle Dick, and have photos of his wild youth with my father to help me: holding me, as a baby, on his lap and pretending to feed me a giant bone of some sort, or posing with my little brother, both wearing my mother's wigs that they rooted out of the closet. May he rest in peace.
