Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Tuesday September 07, 2010

Clifford Smeed Crawford "Go placidly among the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence." Max Ehrmann, Desiderata In loving memory of CLIFFORD SMEED CRAWFORD Professor Emeritus of Biology, UNM 30 July 1932 - 4 September 2010 On 4 September 2010 our dear husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle left this earthly world in peace and dignity. In his own humble way he touched the lives of so many with his wit and zest for life. For it is life which he studied, professed and lived to its fullest. His passion and joy for biology continues through those who have been associated with him during his career and the tens of thousands of students who have been involved in the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP). It is an honor to have been a part of his life. We are forever grateful. Claudia Gayheart Crawford; Rebecca and Rolf Ruegg-Crawford with Michael and Lilia; Ann Crawford and Terence Mitchell with Claire and Sophie; Bruce and Sue Crawford with Ian and Carl; and Forrest Crawford and Sally Foote with Debra and Brian. A Memorial Service will be held at the Central United Methodist Church, 201 University Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, 87106 on Wednesday, 8 September at 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, we kindly request that a donation be made to the BEMP Crawford Memorial Fund, Bosque School, 4000 Learning Rd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120, or to the Central United Methodist Church. Arrangements by Direct Funeral Services, 2919 4th St, NW, Abq, NM 87107. 505-343-8008
