As a customer of mine John was challenging, but always fair and kind. I always looked forward to my visits with him. I have very special memories of him and John Jr. out on the golf course. There will never be anyone else like him! God Bless him!

I am in total agreement with Steve Edmondson. John was a true gentlemen "who had the uncanny ability to pass along a smile and a laugh with each and every encounter". I was fortunate to have been able to spend a few occasions with John Sr. playing golf. I enjoyed those times. John was extremely competitive which I always admired and I loved how he had the wherewithal psychologically to try to tip the outcome of a match in his favor, although I will add, which he achieved doing in a most courteous and tactful way. John was a great man to me. I always looked forward to seeing and talking to him. God Bless his soul. My wife and I have his family in our prayers at this time of grieving...especially, wish to send heartfelt condolences to my good friend John II, Sean, and Mark.

So sorry to learn of John Crump's passing. He was a true prince of a man who had the uncanny ability to pass along a smile and a laugh with each and every encounter, however brief. His familiar visage will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. C., Sean, John, Mark, Lyn and family.
