["Roy and Melissa Turrentine" <roymel@xxxxxxxxx>]

We regret to inform others that our member, Frank Crawford, last night, passed 
away. Aside from usual maladies of the age (84yrs), Frank was in good health, 
overall. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke on the day of our CBC (Dec 27th) 
but was working a crossword puzzle upon our return that day as his daughter, 
Kay Brinkhurst, had called to check on him. It was then obvious he was somewhat 
addled and quickly a trip to the hospital followed.
Kay has been President of our chapter for many years in the past and is now 
vice-President. Her father never came to state meetings, thus many of you will 
not know him. He always was a supporter of TOS and enjoyed nature. He gladly 
watched his feeder for our count lists. Often times past, his yard would even 
get the snipe. We didn't think he felt well enough this year (a supposed 
flu-like bug) to even observe feeders this year, but he did. He counted 
white-crown sparrows and some others, which we always appreciated. This is 
indicative of Frank...even on his last day out of the hospital, he went out for 
errands but was making an effort to note the feeder when he was around AND 
write it down. Frank Stanton Crawford  was sharp in his mind (worked 
crosswords, read avidly) and a talented woodworker. His kind nature and talents 
of a great man will surely be missed by those who knew him. Our heartfelt 
prayers and thoughts go to Kay Brinkhurst (husband Ralph) and family.
