I just found out that Dr. Crummer passed away. He use to be my aunt's doctor at Downstate. My aunt passed away on 12/19/18. Dr. Crummer was the best. He was such a great doctor and he was so helpful to my aunt. I am saddened to hear this but I know he and my aunt are now in heaven together. May your family find comfort always in knowing that he was a genuine and caring human being.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We just learned of his passing. Dr. Crummer was my father’s doctor at the VA in Taos, NM. He always went above and beyond with the care of his patients, took the time to listen and explained everything. His legacy of care touched many and continues forward. Thank you for sharing your husband and father with us. He was an amazing man and doctor.
