Memories and Condolences
for Robert Cranney
May 7, 2016
Hello Cranney Family: I wanted to wish you my thoughts and prayers to your fearless leader. He was a wonderful man who I fondly recalled as the type of guy who would "give me the time of day" when I was a kid and there were probably other more interesting conversations to be had with the grown-ups. He also gave me some great guidance on being an engineer, when that was my main academic interest. All the best to the family and hope the celebration of his life helped you all get back together and remember what's most important.
All the best,
Michael Lewis and Family
