So very sorry for your family’s loss. I was a student at Dayton High School graduating in 1977 . I never had your father as a teacher but I would talk with him daily in the halls . That was back in the day when corporal punishment was allowed . He had a paddle that was wide and long . It only took one time for him to correct my actions in Mr McIntyre’s class and I never stepped out of line in his room again . I highly respected your father and would always enjoy listening to his stories May God bring you peace in your time of sorrow

I’m sorry to learn of Mr Crawford’s passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. I have fond memories as one of his Dayton High School math students, a cheerleader riding on all those away game buses, and eventually a co-teacher in the school district. My sympathy to his family and friends, Annette

As a former player, it saddens me to hear of Dicks passing. I have many fond memories that I will cherish. He was a very demanding coach but a very fair coach. I think that a lot of the lessons he taught, made a lot of his players and students who they are today. Rest in peace Coach!!! So glad to have had the opportunity to have learned from you. My condolences to you Weston and your entire family.
