Philip Crane Obituary

Philip Crane, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on December 22nd. He is survived by his wife Lorraine, son James (Andy), daughter Jennifer, stepsons Timothy and Patrick, and stepdaughter Julie. Two granddaughters and four step-grandchildren also survive him.
An award-winning winemaker, one of Phil's greatest joys in life was sharing his wine with family and friends. He loved to travel the world, particularly to the wine regions of Europe and the island of Maui. He will be greatly missed.
