Charlie was born on February 7, 1943, in New Waterford, Nova Scotia, and was the son of the late Charles and Josephine (MacDonald) Crowe.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Carol (Murray); his two daughters, Charlene (Dartmouth) and Lisa (Michael Gillis) Dartmouth; and his cherished granddaughter, Maggie Marie, who was truly the light of his life. He is also survived by his brothers, Milo (Patricia), Melvin, Lowell (Darlene), and sister Coreen (Charlie Griffin). Charlie leaves behind his sister-in-law, Edie Moffatt Crowe, Murdo (Donnie MacIsaac), brother-in-laws Robert (Miriam) Murray, Frank (Brenda) Murray, and Keith (Sharon) Murray, along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Charlie was predeceased by his brother Merle, and his sisters-in-law Marie and Margie. He was also deeply saddened by the loss of his daughter in infancy.
Charlie began his career at Eastern Bakery and later retired from Scotsburn Dairy. Over the years, he made many lifelong friends, and his kindness and good nature touched everyone who knew him. He will be especially missed by his close friend Aubrey and his many Timmy’s buddies.

Charlie’s family takes comfort in the words of an anonymous source:
"Grief never ends…but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…It is the price of love.”
