Uncle Joe,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand.

Much Love,

Joe & Dawn

To the Crane family,
I am so sorry to hear of Joe's death. He was a very cordial and competent custodian in the Science Center at Wellesley College, where I knew him.
He often unlocked the Science Library in the morning, waiting to be sure that student or regular staff had arrived, and always had a kind word before leaving the area to resume his other duties. The world has lost a very compassionate soul. We'll miss you, Joe Crane.
