Not sure what to say?

I think about Dr. Crews on a regular basis. His influence will always be with me.

I was in the military with Dr. Crews. Changed my life and gave me focus. I always considered him a great guy and great mentor.

I wouldn't be the person I am today if not for my military mentor, Dr. Crews at Ft. Bragg. I will always remember him as a great guy, a great teacher and good friend....

It was a privilege to work closely with Richard for many years. His ideas about making higher education more accessible
were ahead of his time, and many students benefited without
needing federal aid. Richard was extremely creative and uncommonly kind. He lives on in the memories of his friends and co-workers.

One of my very closest friends for the past 40 years...I will miss his input and his perspective. He was capable of the most expansive and inclusive view of life and how everything was as it should be, that I have ever experienced. I will treasure the memories.
