Loomis Leslie CRANDALL

Loomis Leslie CRANDALL, of Woodinville, died on Jan.10, 2004 on the Bear Creek Golf Course while enjoying his favorite pastime. He was 72. Mr. Crandall was born August 19th, 1931 in Neosho, Missouri, and at the age of 18 became a United States Marine. He went on to graduate from West Point in 1955 and there married his wife of 48 years, Joanne Marie Lothrop.

In 1969, the couple moved their family to Bellevue where Mr. Crandall began 28 years of work with the Boeing Company. He received his MBA from Seattle University in 1974. Loomis's children said it was easy to understand God's unconditional love because their father gave the same to them with every breath he took on earth. He was a man who prioritized his Christian faith, his marriage, his children, and his grandchildren. He remained faithful to the ideals of West Point: "Duty, Honor and Country." Being a man of great character and discipline, he exemplified and challenged all who knew him to always choose the harder right rather than the easier wrong. Survivors include his wife Joanne and children Louanne, Mariellen, Laura, Robert and Douglas. He has nine granddaughters and eight grandsons. He is also survived by his brother Ralph, and his sisters Doris and Barbara.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2 p.m., today Wednesday, Jan. 14th at St.Judes Catholic Church in Redmond (10526 166th Avenue N.E.).

Remembrances to be made to the Hope Heart Institute (www.hopeheart.org), Medic One, or the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership at West Point.
