Harold “Hal” Crawford
1959-2019
The family is saddened to announce the passing of Harold
“Hal” Crawford on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at the Dr.
Everett Chalmers Hospital after suffering a massive stroke.
He was surrounded by family members and friends for his two weeks stay
at hospital.
Born in Newcastle, NB, he was the son of the late John and
Jeanette (Hovey) Crawford. Over the years Hal worked in Ontario, BC
and Fredericton, NB. He was a loyal friend of many and
enjoyed gardening, helping his sister with yard work and most happy
when entertaining his friends with his talented guitar playing. He
travelled across Canada with his co-pilot, Dylan, his pet
cat.
Hal is survived by his son Lance Crawford (Amy) and their
daughter Amelia, all of Moncton, NB; his siblings Erle Crawford (Mary)
of Cochrane, AB, Lorna Rogers of Lachute, QC, Phyllis Burke (Jerry) of
Nasonworth, NB and Keith Crawford of Gray Rapids, NB; sister-in-law
Joey of Hamilton, ON; Lance’s mother Sonya (McKinnon) Martin
of Chelmsford, NB; aunt Carolyn Atkinson, uncle George Crawford and
several nieces, nephews and cousins who will miss his amazing
hugs.
In addition to his parents, Hal was predeceased by a brother
John H. Crawford and a brother-in-law George Rogers.
As per Hal’s wishes there will be no visitation or
funeral. A private graveside service will be held in
Blackville at a later date.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to
doctors and nurses in ICU and Dr. Blythe and nurses of 4 NE for their
excellent care and empathy. For those who wish, donations may be made
in his memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation NB, Fredericton Food
Bank or CARMA Cat Rescue Maritimes Fredericton Chapter.
