Betsey, I was so sorry to hear of the death of David. As you may remember I am recovering from knee surgery which prohibited my attending the viewing and a chance to see you and offer my condolences in person. Please know I am thinking of you during this difficult period

I'm so sorry for the loss for the family and friends. He was the most honest and kind dentist I've ever known. He was also a very talented dentist. A great Christian with integrity. I'm sure he's resting in the arms of Jesus

I became a patient and friend many years ago. We shared many jokes, and past memories. I'm sorry that I was unable to attend his services due to a major family problem that required constant attention. I will miss his professional expertise, and friendship. I'm so sorry for your loss. Warren Hawk

What a great man, dentist and friend! When my dad, Dr Mardis, had a heart attack, Dr Crandall was so helpful, as he volunteered with fellow dentists, oral surgeon, and orthodontist, to fill in at dad's office so his patients and out family was taken care of!
Forever classy and considerate!

David and I graduated in the same class of 1971. He was a great man, vibrant and full of life. Hard to imagine how quickly life is snatched away. He loved people and was kind and considerate. I had a dry socket after an extraction, he saw me daily for weeks to try and ease my pain at no charge. Gone for now but never forgotten.

DR. Crandall had been my dentist for many years. His calming voice and explaining what he was doing helped ease my anxiety. I will miss his corny jokes and kind heart. Deepest condolences to his family and work staff.

Dr Crandall felt like family he had been my dentist since he started practice in Xenia. My husband Raymond Walters scared of memories of hunting with him. He was one of the best dentists I've ever had. He will be greatly missed and his staff I love them all! He had quit telling me I need to floss more, lol. I was always nervous in the dentist chair and he made me less nervous especially after I bit him once. He took it pretty well I didn't draw blood but I never did that again, LOL I will greatly miss him and I feel that our loss is Heaven's gain. praying for comfort for his family. He was so proud of his family and loved them dearly.

I am going to miss David he has been my dentist since he first started. I loved him and his staff they all were like family. Not sure I will ever find another dentist that can take his place. May God comfort his family and staff.
