Richard C. Crandall

Richard Crandall, 87, of Sevierville, TN and formerly of McDonough, NY gained his angel wings when God called him home on Saturday, Oct 18, 2026. After waiting 12 years, he is finally reunited with the love of his life, his wife of 50 years, Dorothy.

He is survived by his 3 children, Tess (PA), Lisa/Brian (PA) and Joel (TN); also by his grandchildren, Kristin, Andrea (Jimmy), Brandon and Sydney; as well as several great children. He worked for Raymond Corporation in NY and was the Fire Chief for McDonough for many years. He then relocated to Tennessee and worked for Heritage Log Homes before he fully retired to enjoy the Smokey Mountains of TN.

Dad was a devoted husband, father and Poppop and friend. Dad loved sports as he was our loudest cheerleader. He loved to do woodworking, travelling, being outdoors doing his yard work, and he loved puttering around the home, a jokester and mentor to all, who instilled values and life lessons in us that will be carried on.

At the request of Dad and respecting his wishes there will be no funeral or viewing hours. He was laid to rest next to Dorothy in McDonough Village Union Cemetery.
