    Perhaps they are not stars in the sky,
    but rather openings where our loved ones
    shine down to let us know
    they are happy.

    Our Love & Thoughts are with you all.

    Randi and Eileen
    I was so sorry to read the obituaries and hear of Danny’s passing.
    Your family has been through so much in the past few years as I saw again in the newspaper the passing of your dad and Mike. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I just remember the fun we all had as kids. I walked down Turner St. this past summer on our way home from the PNE. I was tempted to knock at your Nona’s door but didn’t think anyone would still be living there. I would love to hear from you. Stay strong.

    To Randi, Eileen and all their families we offer our deepest sympathy. We can’t be with you guys right now but our hearts sure are. It’s so hard to believe he’s gone. There are so many good memories. His big heart earned him many loyal friends over the years. We will miss him deeply.

    If this is the same Danny Crawford that went to Douglas Road School in Burnaby in the 1960′s.
    My name is Brian Ells and brother John Ells
    What I remember about Danny he was very athletic, I also think he was into boxing.I beleive he had a younger brother named Mike, a grade under me.
    It’s sad to see you go this early Danny.
    Gives all new crediablity to “Only the good die young”
    Take care all you fellow Douglas Roadian’s, Moscropian’s and Burnaby Centralite’s……….
