CRANDALL, WILLIAM DOUGLAS William Douglas Crandall of Burtt's Corner died suddenly at his home on Sunday, May 13 at the age of 72. Born June 1, 1934 in Dorne Ridge to Tilley and Ethel Crandall, he was the husband of Shirley F. (Burtt) for 48 years until she died in 2001. Doug spent most of his working career as a diesel technician, but was also a self-taught jack-of-all-trades who could fix almost anything. A charter member of the Burtt's Corner Lions Club, he held various offices, and was always willing to lend a hand when needed. Doug was a member of the Burtt's Corner Church of Christ where he was dearly loved for his friendly hugs and listening ear. Most of all, he loved time spent at home, and was no more content than when he was in his chair watching game shows on TV. Doug is survived by his only son, Graham, his daughter-in-law, Celinda, and three grandchildren, Matthew, Christy, and Brandon, of Keswick Ridge; his sister Myrtle MacLean of Burtt's Corner; two brothers-in-law, Ashley (& Anna) Burtt and Ralph (& Sadie) Burtt, both of Fredericton; two sisters-in-law, Inez Gorman of Quispamsis, and Kay Hallam of Toronto; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends, including Dora Haines of Dorne Ridge who provided companionship in recent years. Doug was predeceased by his wife Shirley; his parents and his stepfather, Perley Griffiths; an infant daughter, Heather Diane; his brothers, Alden and Murray; his sister, Evelyn Jones; his brothers-in-law, Edwin Burtt, Cecil Burtt, Alton Burtt, Flavis Jones, and Sheldon MacLean; his sisters-in-law, Hazel Dunphy, Gertrude Reid, Marie Burtt, and Ruth Crandall.

The funeral service will take place at the Burtt's Corner Church of Christ on Wednesday, May 16 at 2:00 pm with Pastor Dan Foreman officiating.
