I was so sorry to hear of "Crow's" passing. He was such a great fellow and I don't think he ever met anyone who didn't like him. I worked at Hutton Transport when he was a dispatcher there and he was so good at his job and you just knew he loved it. He and my Dad (Harry McMurray) were in Lodge together in Lakeside and they shared a wonderful friendship. I will always remember him with a smile. My sympathy to all of you. He was certainly "one of a kind" Sincerely Paula (McMurray) Hoare
