Bob Crants was one of the neatest people I've ever met. Just postitive, hard working, super knowledgeable, and always efficient. Quick with a big smile. He was our scout leader, the summer we did 10, 15, 25 and 50 miler hikes - an epic summer. The photo is our group (Bob on left) in the Mission Mts, August 1979 or 80.
RIP Bob, you certainly had a positive impact on my life.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. On behalf of the Helena Elks Lodge #193 we're remembering all that Bob did for the Elks and sending our prayers to his family and loved ones.

I met Bob in 1972 on Rosebud Creek at a hot plant working for the Montana Highway Dept. During our careers with the Dept. we worked together in a number of seminars, projects and committees. He was one of the really good guys. I learned a lot from him. When some sort of construction crisis was happening he was the voice of calm and reason and good advice. It was a real pleasure and honor to have known Bob and worked with him. He was one of the best! My sympathies to the family.

I´m so sad we have lost Bob. He and my Dad were friends for many, many years and I consider(ed) Bob, Evy and Diana friends of mine as well. I´ll never forget Bob sweating up a storm making steak sandwiches at the fairgrounds year after year. It was well over 100° most of the time back there but that didn´t stop Bob.! He will be missed terribly.

I had the honor to work with Bob for a number of years. He was a hard working, dedicated person truly interested in serving the people of Montana.
I learned a lot from Bob over the years. There are not many roads in Montana where Bob didn't have a positive influence.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Bob, he was a good friend of my father in law and husband, which is how I got to know him. He was a fantastic man, husband and friend.
