I think of Richard so often.  He was a wonderful, caring person.  I'd often tell him he reminded me of my daddy and he'd tell me I reminded him of Tracy. Once he had me drive his truck for the weekend and he drove my clunker car home and tuned it up and  even changed the windshield wipers. He was a very giving, kind-hearted friend.  Love y'all, Kristie Anderson

Sorry to hear of Richard's passing. I used to work with him and he was always a sweet man. He will be missed. Thinking of you Gerald and your family during this time.


When we  moved  south  that was when I really got to know my brother. In the 30 yrs plus it's been a joy to see how lovable a guy he was.  He's in heaven with our siblings.  They are at a table in heaven reminiscing  while we are down  here doing the same. 
     He would  hitch hike home from wherever he was stationed in  airforce  dad wouldn't  give him time to relax before  he  would  put him to work  in  the fields.  😂 Words can not Express how  Peck and I love him
   We miss you Jerry and you will  always have a place in  our hearts  . Jerry you will  hear  us talking to you  a lot. But we want worry until you answer. You are safe in God's hands  now. So until we meet again 😘💕💞🤗

Judy,myself & family are praying without ceasing for all of you.Richard was one of my best friends & missing him is an understatement. From working, long talks on the phone,at the gate,in the car, in the garage or at one of our homes...there was always a great & lengthy conversation that blessed us both.No matter if it was about work,our kids or what we were having for supper, we could talk ..from laughing about him falling through the joists right after me telling him he'd fall if not careful & all he could say was,"well,I'll be down there with you!".....I'm going to miss you until I get up there,old friend...RIP-Ray

The gate's of heaven swung open and an exceptional man entered when Jerry walked through .. To me Jerry Crawford was one of the Best , sweetest and loving men I will have ever known . Jerry and Gwen kept me as a child and they love me as if were their own , he always talked about Jesus and had the kindest words whenever needed..I was so blessed to be loved and to have " My other Daddy " in my life..I love you always and will rejoice , " When we all get to Heaven ! "   ❤ Jennifer

Gwen, Richard meant so much to me.  He was a sweet, caring man who worked hard, had exemplary work ethic and would do anything for anyone.  He helped me when I was going through tough times, like a Dad, he fixed my car.  I'll never forget that.  I also remember him telling me when he first went to your parents house for dinner and when the bowl of potatoes was passed to him he dumped the whole thing on his plate.  He laughed and said he thought it was just for him, growing up a bowl of potatoes was huge at his house.  He was a card.  I'll never forget him and remember him fondly. He loved you so very much.

  Getting to know my brother in these last several years I know was a gift from God. 
The Lord knew I hungered for a big brother to share my life with. 
Little did either of us know how much love and respect for one another would come from sending text messages. 
The stories ,the pictures we sent each other grew into something very special as we learned, we were so much alike. 
“Two Peas in a Pod “,we would say or “you sound just like me”.  
Oh, how the tears did flow, my heart broken when I heard the news of his death. 
I lost my soul brother and my best friend that day.  Having recently sent him a picture of myself as a young cowgirl. He text back and ask “ who ?”  I laughed and then snapped a picture of myself in my cowgirl hat and sent it to him. “Now you look like who I know “
Leaving me with sweet memories.  


So many wonderful memories of times past. Living in the little house not long after yall were married and Tracy was such a sweet little girl.  I love her so much.  Gwen I am so sorry you have lost your soulmate her but Heaven is certainly a  grander place for his presence.  We have so much to look forward to don't we. Praying for peace and comfort during this most difficult time..I hope I don't miss when you have his service.
Sharon

We loved Richard and will miss him.  We were longtime friends here and will be forever friends when we all get home. Richard was my right hand man at The City and a jack-of-all-trades. I was lucky to call him friend. Our deepest sympathies to Gwen and his family. 
Don and Martha Forrester
