Bruce,my dearest of friends. My life was changed forever by your touch and infinite words of wisdom over 34 years. You taught me to sail. You taught me to forgive and forget. You inspired me to reach for my dreams. Your smile was infectious and I wanted to copy that trait too. Any room in which you were present was ALIVE. Your spirit was all encompassing. You gave freely of all your endearing talents. All my memories of you are stored safely in my heart. I can share them with others as you taught me that giving back all that is good can only make this world a better place. And, it is that, because you were such a big part of it. The best of everything awaits you now. You have earned this peace. I love you forever. Susie

Mr. Crawford,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
