    Bill,
    My condolences on the loss of your father. I didn’t get the chance to be in his presence very much, but it was obvious that you both had a great relationship together. Remember the good times and draw on those in this difficult time. I wish I knew him earlier as I know I would have enjoyed his humor. You and Kelly took great care of your dad and I am sure he was proud of you! God bless.
    Karen

    My sincere condolences to Rons family. Ron and I were the best of friends from grade one ( located in the basement of the old library) through to high school. We had many great times together.

    My deepest sympathy to Ron Crawfords family. Ron and I were schoolmates at Exeter Public School and later I remember him selling Hostess potato chips when I worked at Fraynes General Store. He always greeted everyone with a big grin. Rest in Peace, Ron..

    Ron was a reliable and conscientious worker, who kept our property in tip top shape, in the summer and the winter months. It was just a pleasure to have this kind and caring man a part of our lives for many years. Thanks for all you did for us, and our office, over the years. We will remember you with great admiration and respect. You have earned your rest. May you find the everlasting peace you so richly deserve.
