Obituary
Robert "Bob" Crane
81, of Prairie Grove, passed away December 14, 2018 at his home. He was a loving husband, dad, and grandpa.
He was born September 15, 1937 in Bartlett, Kansas to Clarence "Red" and Pauline Crane. He was raised in Swink, Colorado.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, sister Jeanne Koehler and brother Lowell. He is survived by his wife Ruth of 54 years, son Joe and his wife Holly, daughter Terri Mitchell and her husband Billy, and son Dusty Crane. He is also survived by six grandchildren Bethany, Emily and Zachary Crane, Hayley and Hannah Mitchell, and Carter Kathryn Crane. Bob is also survived by two sisters, Wynona Hawkins and Glendoris Miller, and one brother, Richard Crane, and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
He was a member of Main Street Baptist Church in Farmington.
He served 3 years in the Navy in the South Pacific. After returning home he entered a Tool and Die Program in La Junta, Colorado where he met his wife. He retired from Standard Register after 30 years. He was a past president of the Arkansas River Chapter of P.O.C.I. Pontiac Club. He then volunteered at the food bank at Life Ministry in Prairie Grove until his health failed and he had to resign.
His greatest love was his family and second his love for cars. There was always a project car in his garage. If he wasn't working on his project, he would be going to car shows or drag races with his Lincoln buddies.

Though I know this is a difficult time for the family, my hope is that you will be comforted from God's inspired word the Bible. John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:3,4 gives hope of a future resurrection and the complete elimination of death, pain and mourning. May the sure promise of a resurrection, comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead, knowing that the One who promised, "cannot lie" (Titus 1:2)

As acting president of the Arkansas River Chapter of POCI, I want to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Crane on behalf of the entire club. It is with great sadness we hear the passing of Bob Crane. Bob was an important member of the Arkansas River Chapter and many members have expressed what a great man he was. We're keeping the family and his friends in our thoughts and prayers during this time of mourning.
