Bruce Clayton (Clay) Crawford passed away July 7th at the age of 76 after complications from COVID pneumonia and diabetes. He was born June 20, 1947 in Endicott, NY and was a long time resident of Manchester, CT, moving to Phoenix, AZ in 2018. Clay is survived by his wife Carol Pettinato Crawford, two daughters and spouses, Kendyle and Jason Mills of Sellersville, PA and Karyn and Troy Hillman of Phoenix, AZ, five grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Clayton and Dorothy Crawford and brother Ronald Crawford. Clay was a proud U.S. Army Veteran and graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester, NY. In retirement he was very active in the West Valley Genealogical Society and proudly published a book about the stories and history of his family titled "Just a Matter of Time".
