Graham Crowe 24 September 1941- October 24 2024 RIP
I am deeply saddened to announce the Passing of my Brother Graham this morning at his home in England after recent surgery.
Please keep his Wife Viv and his entire family including my Brother Joe in your Prayers and thoughts .
I wrote this a few years ago after attending my youngest Brothers Clive's Funeral . in 2019.
The Love and sadness I feel today cannot be put into words
I was born into a family of Engineers,
My Dad helped build Jet Aircraft Engines.
My brother Clive dangled fearlessly daily above on High Voltage wires 150 ft off the ground each strand Carrying 30,000 plus Volts!
My eldest Brother Trevor made wonderful works of Art out of all types of Metals on electric Lathes in his spare time!
In England’s it’s referred to as
“ Doing a Foreigner” he was very strong and also creatively talented !
We shared a passion for Golf and together played many of the worlds greatest Golf courses sharing wonderful memories ⛳️
My younger brother Joe Crowe ( pictured left )ex Royal Navy still plays the guitar and was a offshore welder on the Huge oil rigs in the North Sea !
He actually survived a big electrical fire and explosion one day falling 200 feet unconscious into the churning Artic waters below in the North Sea 100 miles off the rugged northern coast of Scotland.
He was saved by an extremely brave diving buddy who without any thought for his own safety and with angry raging and freezing waters below immediately dove into 30 feet waves with no insulation suit to rescue Joe and pull him to safety, a very close call indeed! A hero indeed!
My older brother Graham ( right )
Also ex RN served an apprenticeship at the same Engineering factory my Dad worked at and after retiring has made wonderful artistic creations from any type of odd wood or metal pieces he finds!
He also makes his own beer and helps his lovely wife Viv ,his wonderful soulmate make delicious pickled onions and she’s a terrific chef , a beautiful lady, the true salt of the earth.
Graham was Top of our High School at Bushbury Hill winning the coveted Math prize over 500 fellow students! He is very precise and took the time to teach and coach me along the way !
Four years later I was proud to replicate his great feat and also win the Top of the school in Mathematics prize as well as winning the Chess Championship! Bush-bags Brainy Boy!
Joe was showing Graham how to circumvent and bypass the Local West Midlands Power grid to get unlimited free electrical Juice to heat for the copious medicinal MJ plants and w**d he cultivates in his illegal secret greenhouse hidden deep upon the bleak barren beautiful Yorkshire moors ☘️⚡️🌱🌿
This now helps save thousands of pounds in medical MJ prescriptions for all his many sick and ailing friends and keeps his local community highly enlightened and happy !
👀💷💉💵 🌿🚬
He says if he is caught he will probably be released as he is such a gentle person as well as being a true romantic & Philanthropist. 💕
Don't Bogart that joint my friend 👀
I on the other hand despite starting out life as an electrician don’t possess all their many wonderful talents or artistic skills so I tell tall tales of my life as an Ancient Mariner sailing around the world on ships 50 years before the mast ! Definitely a Pirate 🏴‍☠️🌎🌊⚓️
I love them all so very much !❤️
I have been so blessed with wonderful brothers who have taught me lifted me up and encouraged me sometimes by
“Get some bloody bottle Mick, grow some intestinal fortitude.
now get back on the horse and with actions and words saying “go after what you want and never ever give up !
They call me their loud pushy American brother and keep encouraging me to keep on dancing drinking and traveling !
🍸⛴🍷🌊🥃✈️🥂🚂
I think it’s because they’re secretly afraid that I might actually move back home one day and become a real pain in their arse and then they’d have to put up with me full time! 😱
😂🌹💕🇬🇧💋
I know Mom Dad and Trevor and Clive have already welcomed him into Heaven I will miss you Gra , you were my rock ,my big brother and best friend .
My apologies to all if this offends anyone, however it is my way of dealing with my broken Heart ,which is at this time is Heavy with sadness, grief and full of so many wonderful memories as the tears flow freely down my cheeks for the Total Love and loss I am feeling
Lord embrace him and bring comfort to the ones who Love him now and forever. .John 14:2-6, 1 Corinthians 13:13, 23rd Psalm
He ain't heavy He's My Brother 🙏🌈
