CRYE -- John R. Crye, Jr., 85, a resident of Albuquerque since 1945, died Wednesday, April 12, 2006. He is survived by his daughters, Carolyn Settles and husband Walter of Green Valley, Arizona and Win Simon of Albuquerque; sons, Doug Simon of Albuquerque and Nick LaRue and wife Carol of Albuquerque; grandchildren, Laura and Jake; great-grandson, Abran; and sister, Hazel Sullivan of Albuquerque. His wife Barbara and daughter Peggy Dixon preceded him in death. John and Barbara were members of Asbury United Methodist Church. John retired from Sandia National Labs in 1982. He had a passion for analyzing systems, both mechanical and human, and always had a thoughtful commentary for both. John loved to tell a good joke and made a habit to read the comics in the paper before anything else. Born in Calborne, Louisiana, a southern gentleman, he lived life more slowly and served as a role model for the rest of us in this hurry up world.
