Joan Crucitti

My sincere condolences to all of you. I have so many fond memories growing up because of the Crucitti family. Sleepovers on the back porch and in the shed, swimming, snow forts, koolade for the mailman, climbing the Deyoungs tree, holiday parties, playing Tommy Rowe and The Beetles in the basement, bugging all the neighborhood moms sitting around Joan´s table trying to have adult conversation, Joans blackberry pie, and radio in the kitchen set to easy listening, the Farrah Fawcett poster in the boys room, David´s "balanas", Sherry´s tv shows, Bobby´s quiet way, and Barbara´s friendship. Soooo, sooo many wonderful memories. Joan was "my mom away from mom" very early on, before 1st grade, taking care of me while my parents were working. I´ll never forget her warm and inviting manner. Ever.
