It is truely sad to hear of Jeff's passing.



Jeff was a great guy and a pleasure to know.



I remember our High School days as being care free and happy.



I recall seeing Jeff not long ago at his daughter's daycare where my little girl also attended.



I remember meeting Danielle who was such a sweet little girl. Who was loving and kind, just exactly like her dad.



I'm sure he is proud of her today.

I was very surprised / saddened to hear of Jeff's passing; as well as dissappointed with having missed the services. Jeff C. & Jeff A. and I were very close friends at one time and this news leaves me with an empty feeling. May God bless you Gail and Danielle; and both the Crawley and Alexander faimiles. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was unable to attend Jeff's memorial but heard from other family members that it was a lovely service filled with people who love Jeff and his family. I'm Jeff's Cousin and childhood neighbor. Gail was my babysitter one summer. At their wedding I was chastised by some ladies, who had been friends of Jeff's mom Pat, for crying. Once I started so did they, and we blubbered our way through the rest of the service. Aunt Pat was definitetly with us that day. Now Jeff is with her. I send my love and prayers to Gail, Danielle and all who love them.

I am so sorry I could not be at the service to express in person my deep regret of Jeff passing. the first time I met Jeff was when we were building our house just up the street from his home. When we would come out to see the progress, Jeff would ride his bike up and talk to us. Our children went to school with him and Gail and we will sadly miss him. God bless the family and remember we will be just up the street from the home place if you need us.

I knew Jeff in Jr. high and high school as well. He made a lasting impact on my life, and I truly enjoyed his friendship in school. I'm so sorry to hear that he has left us. My heart and prayers go out to his family, trusting that God will overshadow your grief with His grace.

I first met Jeff when I was in Junior High School. He was such a friendly and easygoing guy. I was fortunate enough to become one of his friends, and always looked forward to talking to him in class

or at his locker.

I haven't talked with him since High School, but have always wondered where he was, or what he was doing. It saddens me deeply to hear that he has died. To his family I offer my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers.

I also went to high school with Jeff at Westerville North along with Gail and Jeff Alexander. We rode to school together and played football and ran track. When I heard he was in the hospital it was hard to believe, Jeff in the hospital. I am truly saddened and sorry to hear he has passed on but I know that he is in a much better place than we are! If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I will pray for you all!

I became acquainted with Jeff during his time at Chase. He was a very nice man with a terrific sense of humor and quick smile. I am so sorry for your loss

To The Crawley Family - I would like to extend my deepest sympathy. I am truely sad to learn of this news. I met Jeff back when I used to work at what we called "ChemiChase", which was Chemical Mortgage Company or Chemical Residential Mortgage Corp. prior to it's many merges! We shared some good times at work and alot of laughs. I will always remember the good times and how he could make you laugh, when you weren't always in the best of spirits. I know he's in a better place now, he's home with the Lord! Hopefully he will get to meet my parents in Heaven! God Bless you and keep you all. For only "HE" will see you through in your time of need.

I went to high school with Jeff at Westerville North along with Gail and Jeff Alexander. I work at Riverside and saw Jeff when he was in the hospital. It was disheartening to see him the way he was - it wasn't at all what I remembered from our younger days! I am truly sorry to hear he has passed on but am glad to know that he is in a much better place than we are! If there is anything I can do, please let me know. My prayers go out to the entire family!

To the Crawley Family;

Please accept my condolences in the loss of Jeff. We did attend school together and it was a sad moment when I saw his name in the paper. Gail you and the Crawley family have my prayers today and always. Just remember, "God" is not through with us yet. He only has loaned us for a little while.

For I know Jeff is in a better place. No more suffering. It does hurt, but just remember, he's smiling down on you now.
