ROBERT QUENTIN CRANE

Dear Marilou,

I am just now reading about your dad for the first time. For some reason it came across my phone. I am so sorry for your loss.

I have many fond memories of your family growing up. Particularly memories of your dad when he helped us get the summer jobs at the state house. You, Annmarie and I had such a fun summer thanks to your dad. Memories of Scituate and the time we spent together are forever there. You were my dear friend and your family was part of...

I was the Corporate Controller of Merkert Enterprises. Bob was in my office every day, except when he was in Jupiter, FL. He was a good man with a great sense of humor. I am posting this on behalf of all of the employees of the Merkert Enterprises family. It was a great company to work for and he was a big part of it. He loved the song by Louie Armstrong, "What a Wonderful Life." He was so funny doing the eulogy for Boston's mayor, Kevin White, who he was very good friends with in...

I had the pleasure of weekly chats with Mr. Crane over the last year in my work as an Ombudsman at a nursing home in Wellesley. He was a kind and funny man. We sang Irish songs (Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder was our favorite along with a few by the Irish Rovers), talked about the Red Sox, ate Werther's Caramels and he would ask me What's he done today? Referring to a certain politician with whom he did not agree! I will miss you, Bob, as I'm sure so many will. Rest In Peace...

Dear Bob Crane Junior,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your immediate family upon reading about your Holy Father's passing. I will always remember his personal Massachusetts State House Treasurer greetings.

May GOD Bless him now and forevermore,

RLP

Mary Lou and Bob,

I was so sorry to learn of your Father's passing. He was a wonderful gentleman who was a role model of so many of us who had a foot in business and politics. He raised a wonderful family and helped so many people and will be long remembered by all. As a young banker, he helped me navigate the many pitfalls of the industry and helped make our small bank a success. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I hold Bob Crane responsible for saving my life. I have thanked him many times, most recently in a conversation in early December. Friendships from the early Kevin White days were gold. He came to my rescue because that is what he did for friends. My entree into the financial world was through him, and I pledged I would make him proud. Thank you Bob, my great friend. No higher compliment can I pay you. My love to Mary and his beautiful family. Betsy Flavin

To a man, a special man, who cared about people who cared about helping people in need. Bob loved life, sports and loved being alive. A man's man. There will never be another Bob Crane again. My condolences for his family as they enjoy there fondest memories of their matriak. The old saying can apply when u think of Bob, there were no flys on him. Thank God for that. A true red, white n blue human being. We were all blessed having him in our lives. Speaking on behalf for my extended...

For me, he and his team at the Treasurer's office were devoted to high professionalism .. sorry to see him pass on ..but he had a long distinguished career in public service with that big wonderful smile and great voice..my deepest condolences to the whole Crane family.And he served our nation as a Marine. Thank you Bob.God Bless.

To the Crane Family,

I learned with deep regret the passing of Mr. Crane and wish to extend my sincere sympathies to the entire Crane Family.

His entire life was one of devotion to his family and friends through countless acts of kindness by helping others. I had the pleasure of working for the Treasurer in the 1980s and as anyone who had the chance to work for Mr. Crane "He was the best".

May the love of your family and friends comfort you in the days ahead.

With...
