Paul M Crawford

Paul Crawford passed away on May 25th, 2012 and joined his wife Jo Crawford and son John, now in heaven. Paul was born in Yakima, Washington and grew up on a farm in Topinish where he eventually left to serve in the United States Marine Corps. He proudly served our country where he most notably served in Korea. Paul was proud to be a Marine, among a group of jarheads who always say, "once a Marine, always a Marine." He was also a faithful husband to his wife Jo Crawford and loyal father to his own children, foster children and adopted children alike. His kids also reflect dearly on his love of travel on the open road; in fact if he could still see well enough, he would be on a roadtrip this very moment. His nickname, "GPS" perfectly described his fantastic ability to locate a place and name any road. Traveling brought him many places and introduced him to countless friends, even bank tellers and grocery clerks will undoubtedly note his absence from this world. We will miss you Paul Crawford.
