Dear Kay and family-

I was so very sorry to learn of Mr. Crabill's passing from my mother. I remember all of you with such fondness thinking back to our Ocean City, NJ days.. Mr. Crabill's picture is just as I remember him. I can just see him and my dad standing on the beach together those many years ago ! It has meant so much to my mother to reconnect with both of you these past few years. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Fondly, Sandy (Fritz) Joyce

I worked with John for several years in real estate. He was a wonderful man with a fun sense of humor. It was a pleasure knowing him. God bless to the family.
