Bill was a sweet, loving, and faithful man. We are happy to have been able to know him and call him friend. Condolences to Barb and the rest of his family. We will remember him fondly.
William Eugene Crank, 83, passed away on August 29, 2021, at Clinton House Health & Rehab

William was born March 31, 1938 in New Castle, IN to the late Eugene Crank and Evelyn June
(Lockwood) Crank. After completing his education, William served his country in the U.S.
Armed Forces. He worked for much of his life in construction, retiring after 22 years.
