William von Petit Crawford

William von Petit Crawford, born October 18, 1938, in Hartford, Connecticut, died October 29, 2021.  After spending nearly 60 years on the north shores of Chicago, he and his true love moved to Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina. He passed suddenly and peacefully in the place that he loved most.

He lived life to the fullest.  He loved a good party and great food, could light up the room with his humor and laughter, went out of his way to help others whenever he could, and was always happy to see you. He was most proud of his family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Joanne; adoring daughters, Carrie (William), Rebecca (Jay), and Kimberly (Jason); cherished grandchildren, Dylan, Madelyn, Caitlin, and Ryan; and siblings Bob, Peg, and Elizabeth.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Edna; father, Asa; and brother, Chuck.

The family plans to have a celebration of life at a future time.
