John Edward Crum, Sr., age 89 departed this life on Wednesday, December 14, 2016.
John was born July 15, 1927 in Selma, AL to the late Willie and Corrine Crum (Hall). The family moved to Dayton, OH in 1945 where he attended and graduated from Dunbar High School in 1948. He retired from the United States Postal Service after 32 years.
He was a longtime member of the church of Christ, most recently serving at the Northwest congregation for 20 years. Before his illness, he enjoyed working in the yard and garden and taking care of his home that he shared with his wife of 61 years, Doris. John found great joy in his family – he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend to all; he never met a stranger.
He is survived by his loving wife Doris (Bias) Crum, and five children: John Crum Jr. (Francine) of Mitchellville, MD, Jeffrey Crum of Meriden, CT, Delores Stafford, Debra Warren and Kenisha Robinson all of Dayton, OH; six grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brother, James Crum (Lolita) of Dayton, OH; sisters-in-law, Bonnie Bias, of Toledo, OH, Bernice Bias, of Dayton, OH and Charlsie Rice, of Goleta, CA; brothers-in-law, Horace Bias (Sheila) of Munford, AL, and Thomas Bias, of Carrollton, GA; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins and a loving church family.
