Ronald Crispy Crisp, 44, went to the Big Race Track in the Sky on March 10, 2007.
He was raised in his beloved town of Stanwood, Wash., went to Stanwood schools, participated in wrestling, football and numerous after school activities, graduating in 1981. He was an avid NASCAR fan and first place drag race winner in my Buick.
He has joined his Big Bro Johnny Critter Crisp; baby brother, Lee Owen; grandparents, Harv and Annie Crisp; and grandparents, Ralph and Helga Erickson, (grandma Helga, please dont be too hard on him).
Waiting to join him are me, his wife, Linda; mom, Shirley Crisp; dad, Owen Crisp and wife, Randi; sisters, Carolyn Peterson, Susan Nash Susie and husband, Donny; uncle, Michael, who found all of his mechanical errors; aunt, Joan Patton, of Jacksonville, Fla.; nieces, Melanie and Tia; nephews, Jessie, Jeremy, Ty, Justin, Brandon, Donavon and Tyler; sister and brother-in-law, Angie and Brady; grandkids, Luke and Lily. Last but not least our cat, Miss Tulip McPhee.
Ronnie had so many loyal and devoted friends, to name them all would be impossible, but a special thanks to his Brother Todd Jensen, Karl Specht and Doug Gilliam, loyal friends to the end.
My husband had many nicknames. My favorite was little big man. He was strong as an ox, as mean looking at times as a bulldog, a number one wise-guy but oh, what a heart. He was one in a million.
Honey, after the reunion and after you build your race car youd better get busy on my tree house you never know when Ill show up. Until I see you again, I love you PapaMama.
Friends and family shared Crispy stories from 1 – 3 p.m., Saturday, March 17, 2007, at his Dad and Randis place.
