I have known Frank since I was a Student Nurse
with Joan at our Lady of Fatima Hospital. We discovered we were distant cousins. We spent many happy times with our families at picnics & family gatherings. Frank had the Irish 'wit' & always had a story or joke to tell. We must remember
that you lived a great life & gave us many happy memories that we will always cherish! Rest in peace my dear friend!

Dear Mrs. Crawley and Family,
I am deeply honored to have known Mr. Crawley as my boss
and friend.
I have many fond memories of him while working in Mayor Doyle's Office. A man of integrity, loyalty, and a sense of humor.
Mr. Crawley was a man of many accomplishments, however, I believe his greatest legacy will be in the wonderful family he raised
and his love for Mrs. Crawley.
I know he was proud of each one of you.
A good heart has stopped beating,
A good soul ascended to heaven.
With a heavy heart I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Joan and Crawley Kids,
As you all know, I met Frank when I was 16 years old. We both worked at Schartenbergs Department store in Pawtucket. We became friends and that friendship lasted all these years. I met Joan thru Frank and then all of our kids met up at St Josephs School. My heart is truly sad. Henry and I are very grateful for the loyal and true friendship that we shared with Frank all these years. He was always there for us thru good times and bad times. We will miss him beyond words. Our deepest sympathy and love to all of you during this sad time. Rest In Peace dear friend.
