Mr. Crawford was my mentor from when I first went to work at the law firm as a clerk while at Vanderbilt.  HIs no-nonsense practical approach to practicing law has served me well for many years.  His ability to relate to juries full of people from all different backgrounds was definitely a blessing and talent.  He will certainly be missed.  Cliff Walker

Billy, while my foe at MBA became my teammate, classmate ('63) and dear friend at Vanderbilt. We served together in the US Army at Fort Sill Oklahoma when he was going thru OCS and where he married his love, the lovely Angie. We shared many adventures and had many good times on and off the football field, the golf course or the card table. I'll always remember him as one of the super great guys I've ever known in my life. I send up a prayer... may God's grace envelope Billy.
My deepest condolences Dear Angie.

Billy Crawford was one of the fiercest competitiors I have ever played against in the great game of golf. He was so much fun to be with and his love for Richland CC, his golfing buddies were great but he loved his family so much. Billy was such an intelligent man and  I will miss him! Rest in Peace and May the Good Lord welcome you to his kingdom.

I am genuinely heartbroken. Bill was one of the first faces we encountered at St. Henry, and his incredible warmth, sense of humor, and love of life never failed to serve as an inspiration. I always looked forward to seeing him at mass, and we ended up swapping books in our own miniature book club. I know how much his presence will be missed in my life and the lives of my husband and children; I pray God's peace and comfort for Angela, his children, and grandchildren.

He was a recent acquaintance and very nice from the first moment. I'll miss seeing him and regret not getting to know him even better. Prayers to the family.

Played golf with him twice in some State tournaments. Very nice gentleman. I enjoyed knowing him.

One of a kind. Would hit a hole in the line of scrimmage, a driver off the turf, and life exactly the same - full bore. So glad to have known Billy.
