Deanne - I was very sorry to hear about your father. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

To The Family of Dave Crane: I was privledged to have Dave as a member of the Golf Committee for Credit Unions for Kids. He was a delight and we became great friends. His love for golf was riveled only by his love for the Kids and Santa Rosa Children's Hospital. Dave was passionate with all his commitments and called me or visited regularly to share his ideas to improve that to which he was already committed. We will all miss him and his always cheerful way. Don't hesitate to call if I can be of service to the family. Tim

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dave on the Alamo Chapter of Credit Union's steering committee for Credit Unions for Kids. I found Dave to be a very warm and generous man. I'm very sad to learn of his passing. My prayer is that God will comfort his wife and family during this difficult time.

Betty, Michelle and I were shocked and deeply saddened by Dave's passing. You and Dave were very gracious and kind to both Michelle and me when we moved to Texas and we have always been greatful for that. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family...the Hughes Family

May you find comfort in God's unconditional love. Dave's kindness and spirit reached far beyond Texas. He was well liked and respected. He will live on in our memories.

Dear Family, 
I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sorry I can't be there, I thought it was best for us to not bring Braden. Please know that I am there in spirit with the rest of the Dawson's and that if there is anything at all I can do, I am here for you. D.D. was a great man. In the 13 years that I have known you, he always had a smile on his face and was always great with the kids. He will be missed terribly. 
Love to all, 
Stacie Dawson Trent, Ashley & Braden

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Pittman and Crane family. May we celebrate the life of a joyful husband, son, brother, father, and best grandpa ever.

Dave was such a great guy, always very pleasant to work with. He will be missed.

As a part time driver at Enterprise I got to know Dave well moving trucks for him and we had lunch together on several occasions. He always talked about his family and was very proud of you. My thoughts are with you on this day.

Remember that your loss is shared by many friends who care and that you're in our thoughts and prayers. May you and your family find comfort today and hope for tomorrow in the loving memories you carry in your heart---Bonnie Case

Dave, you will truly be missed. May God Bless You. My prayers go out to all of your family.

Dave was a mentor to me these past 4 years. He helped me learn the business and offered advice when I asked. He always took pride in everything he did and only expected the best. 
 He loved to talk about his new grand-babies and was very proud of his daughters. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will truly be missed.

Dave loved his family and was so proud of his daughters. I enjoyed working with him in Texas and learned a lot about the car business from him. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Betty, Deanne, Cathleen, Warren and Adam, As Deanne is the closest I have to a sister, your family has become very important to me. I am so very devastated to hear of your loss. Whenever I was around Dave, he made me feel like part of the family. And though I was not at all of your family get togethers, I heard all about them from Deanne and even got a little leftover BBQ from time to time. I know that Deanne and Cat have been truly blessed with incredible parents. 
You are all in our thoughts and prayers,
