Crow also leaves his family; Bob (Pat) Smith, Marilyn (Jack) Thomson, Diane Wilson and Dell Cline, Bonnie (Larry) Austin, David Smith, Judy (Doug) Peacock, Lorraine (George) Nelson and Smitty Smith (Stan Radomski). Crow will be sadly missed by several nieces, nephews and other extended family. Crow was predeceased by his parents, Don and Della Smith, his brother-in-law, Wayne Wilson and his sister-in-law, Linda Smith. Crow was also predeceased by Sam , his faithful companion. Crow was born in Treherne, Manitoba and raised in Portage la Prairie. Following his education, Crow completed Barbering School and spent several years in this profession. Crow then began working for the Manitoba Telephone System, retiring after 30 years. Crow's life revolved around family, friends and sports. There wasn't a sport he wouldn't try and several in which he excelled. Fastball, golf and curling were among his favourites. Crow loved the comradery that accompanies sporting events and treasured the life-long friendships he developed. Crow loved to laugh and loved even more to make those around him laugh. Crow epitomized the life of the party . He was well-known for his immense sense of humour and his ability to entertain any and everyone. Crow had a special connection with children of all ages and he was able to bring a smile or a laugh to every one who crossed his path. Crow and Carmen enjoyed many trips to warm climates, often accompanied by several friends and family. Every day with Crow was an adventure and our memories will always bring smiles and laughter. The family expresses their sincere gratitude to the Intensive Care Units, Doctors and nursing staff of Health Science Centre. A memorial service for Crow will be held on Friday, November 30, 2012 at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Pet Rescue Shelter, 3062 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB.

Crow was one of the Wok House gang. We played ball together and had many golf trips to Grand Forks. He always had a story to tell and a chuckle for all. My deepest sympathy Carmen and family. - Posted by: Jim Freedy (friend) on: Nov 30, 2012

I enjoyed the slow pitch ball games and playing golf with Crow at the Base. When Crow was around everyone was laughing, telling stories, kidding around, playing jokes on each other and of course, telling outrageous lies about each other. But all the stories about brother Bill and Crow are true! - Posted by: Murray Randall (Friend) on: Nov 28, 2012

I used to love to watch Crow on the first tee at the CFB Country Club. Once he set his ball on the tee everyone would look over to his extreme left to watch the people sitting on the deck having their libations. Crow was about to play only a shot that few golfers can make. It starts just right of the tree on his left side, then after passing the tree it takes a massive fade left heading for the people sittng on the deck. The funny thing is that I've never heard Crow ever yell "Fore" when he did this shot. But there sure was a lot of WOWS from the guys at the tee box. We'll miss you Crow. - Posted by: Gary Lacey (Friend) on: Nov 28, 2012

Played ball with Crow for 20 years and he was one hell of a good second baseman, just ask him. Coach Bill tried trading him a few times but he wouldn't go. I loved his character and always enjoyed the time spent. - Posted by: Ralph Kendall (Friend) on: Nov 28, 2012
