This is the memorial tribute for my father, Alex S. Crank, who was tragically taken from us in September, 2007. It is very personal, but I wanted the rest of my friends and family to be able to share it with others who were not able to be at my dad's funeral. Since this time, our family has grown in number and in forgiveness. I thank God for that. I pray that all of my family will be forgiven and forgiving.
