“Dear John and Valerie, Your father made several trips to Antigua while I was a missionary there with the Caribbean Radio Lighthouse. He was a blessing to all he met. I especially remember how he stopped and prayed for people's needs right where they were...on the sidewalk, waiting in line at the airport...anywhere. He always sent Christmas greetings until they stopped coming a few years ago. I suspected he had gone on to Glory Someone suggested I try Google. God bless you. Rita Covalt”

“In loving memory of John E. Crabbe, Pastor Crabbe was there the day as a youth when I said the prayer when I accepted my lord and savior. I know I was just one of the many souls he brought to Jesus. I am forever grateful for your guidance, wisdom, service and love for the lord. May God bless your soul and know that you will never be forgotten.”
