Obituary for Neil Joseph Crawford
Neil Crawford loved life fiercely: his family and friends will miss the warmth of his burning passions following his death to cancer.
The McMaster University-trained chemical engineer, avid reader, sportsman and athlete, camper, hiker and musician was one of 9 children of Agnes and Ron Crawford of Strabane. Intellectually curious, he read the entire Encyclopaedia Brittanica one summer as a child. He was a steadfast friend who gave freely of his time and organizational skills to the community.
He cherished his 4 children–Allison, Derek, Lianne, Michael –feasting them on camp-stove french fries, hiking the Dundas Peak and hosting family dinners.
He was proud of his brains, his golf prowess (best player in the family) and self-taught musicianship with guitar and voice. Neil Young, The Guess Who and Marvin Gaye were on his set list. We’ll be singing them soon in a tribute party honouring a man of talent, integrity and heart.
