RIP Past President Kerry Crawford, Rotary Club of Gold Coast Central
Kerry was a very generous man and most welcoming to one and all. He was president of the club for two consecutive years and held most of the roles in the club during his years of service. If anything needed to be done Kerry was there. He was a very active member of the Club. Kerry donated $500 to the club whenever a member or their family bought or sold a car through him. Kerry was always laughing, he had a firm handshake, a hearty slap on the back for the men and a warm hug for the ladies. Sincere condolences to Kerry’s family. K Hogan
Family and friends of Kerry Crawford are warmly invited to attend a Celebration of Kerry’s Life at :
