My deepest condolences to the Crane family on the loss of your beloved “Chuck”. Losing someone you love is the most difficult thing a family will ever do. Our Heavenly Father knows the pain death brings and that is why at Revelation 21:3,4, God promises that soon all pain, sickness and death will be eliminated. Mankind will live in happiness and peace forever. Until God’s promises are fulfilled, it is my hope that you find comfort to n your beautiful memories of “Chuck”. I am so sorry for your loss. JW.

One of my best memories of Chuck was of him being a proud father he enjoyed watching Tiffany run track. We would stand out on the fence and talk. The other is the first time I saw him at Speedway and he told me Shannon, Michelle and Tiffany went to Speedway and we all didn't know we were related.

After one year of marriage and living in an apartment, in 1979 we moved to Belleview Place. Little did I know we would have the best neighbors and friends possible. Chuck, Denise and their 3 precious girls were the best. I remember coming home from work a few weeks after we moved there and Chuck came out to my car, took me to their backyard and threw me in their swimming pool. (He did let me take my shoes off). We all became instant family. We ate supper with them at least 4 or 5 nights a week. We played cards and other games all the time. I can’t imagine living anywhere better. We painted our house and Chuck was on vacation from Diamond Chain. On Friday he sit in a lounge chair drinking beer watching us until 5:00 pm. He stood up said “vacation is over” then helped us finish painting. I have so many wonderful memories. Chuck was a great man, friend and part of our family. I will always cherish our relationship. RIP Chuck until we meet again. Love ya, Brenda.



Chuck didn’t know a stranger. My youngest felt so much love from “her Popo”. I always told him he should have a side gig. Have parents bring your crock pot and ingredients in the morning and pick up dinner in the evening! Popo will be missed by so many

We are sure going to miss you Popo, we love you so much, thank you for being such a wonderful bonus grandpa to my kids, you really did mean the world to us and you will never be forgotten. You will be deeply missed xoxoxo

We were blessed to have had a dad that you didn’t have to be. I will miss you calling and checking on FSU game times, following up on the kids sports and letting me know we had bad weather coming our way. There won’t be a day that goes by, you won’t be missed. We love you with all our hearts.

I never felt like a stranger, or out of place, when in your company. You always knew how to make me feel like we had been family for our whole lives. Love you tons, and will deeply miss your hugs and kisses.

You are such a wonderful dad. I will miss our road trips, watching the games, racing and most of all our talks. I won't however miss you teasing me with potato eyes haha. I love you more than you will ever know daddy.

Charles (Chuck) Crane was my first cousin. Chuck was named after my dad Charles Crane.

Chuck Crane was such a fine man, one of those men that when God made him they broke the mold.

We had so much fun as kids playing at Uncle Toms & Aunt Janie’s Home.

Chuck you are gonna be missed so much, we love you!!

Cousin Patty & Daniel Koester
