Mr. Crawford was an Air Force veteran who enjoyed his post in Alaska. Upon leaving the service he gained employment at the VA Medical Center in Lexington, KY, where he worked for 33 years receiving many awards and commendations for exemplary service. He was also the owner-operator of Crawford Water Hauling for over 60 years, as well as, a cattle and tobacco farmer on his property in Winchester.
He was a proud member of the Masons Lodge of Winchester, KY. He took great pride in his farm and crops. He loved to watch old westerns and was particularly fond of John Wayne movies. He was an avid reader of Louis L’Amour. But the thing that gave him the greatest joy was spending time with family at reunions and holidays. His humor and infectious laugh will be forever cherished and sorely missed.
