Together Again

He was born May 28, 1938 to Hollister and Lillian (Brown) Crane in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. He married Gloria Dunlap on May 29, 1965 and she preceded him in death. He was the father of two sons: Jay (Dorothy) Crane of Glenmont and Kirby (Donna) Crane of Millersburg. A loving and dedicated grandfather to his grandson, Hunter Crane (Kallie Frazier). A special grandfather to Amy (Troy) Miller of Killbuck, Rob (Dulcie) Snow of Millersburg, Justin (Joleen) Haudenschild of Millersburg and Haley (Scott) Zollars of Warsaw. A special great grandfather to Alexis (Garrett) Blake, Alivia (Ryan) King, Oliver Fleming, Jett and Jase Haudenschild, and Caden and Kaizer Zollars. A special great great grandfather to Easton, Ensley and Lynden Blake. He is also survived by siblings, Julie (Jim) Gerlach of Elkhorn Wisconsin, Dennis (Pat) Crane of Arizona and Doug (Tracy) Crane of North Carolina.

He worked as an auto and motorcycle mechanic. He was a self employed Dump truck driver and worked at Guggisberg Cheese as a truck driver. He was in the National Guard and Reserves. He was an avid motorcycle rider, and enjoyed many rides with his wife and several friends over the years. He enjoyed operating his HAM radio, telling us that the farthest he had talked to someone was in northern Russia. He enjoyed his Friday night evenings hanging out with his friends in the garage. Making memories to last a lifetime.

He was preceded in death, by his wife; parents; and a sister, Aileen Crane.
