In loving memory of Hollis Crawford September 28th, 1945 - June 30th, 2026
“The road was his home, and now the stars are his guide.”
Hollis was truly one of a kind. He devoted his life to his family and took great pride in his work. Always willing to lend a helping hand, he never missed an opportunity to share one of the many stories from his decades behind the wheel. His strength, generosity, and unmatched work ethic will forever be remembered.
He will be deeply missed by his children, Brad (Tina), Brian (Lysa), Bobby (Caroline), Heidi (Eddie), Becky (Sebastien), and Julie (Chad), and his cherished friend Barb; his 15 cherished grandchildren; 9 treasured great-grandchildren; and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
Hollis was predeceased by his first wife, Margaret, and his daughter, Bonnie.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the Manoir de Stanstead and the Palliative Care Unit at Magog Hospital for the compassionate care, kindness, and support they provided to Hollis.
A ceremony attended by the family and featuring the ashes will take place at Crystal Lake Cemetery on September 12th at 13:00.
“How lucky are we to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”

We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone that had the pleasure of knowing Hollis whether a relative, friend or past co-worker.
I am so thankful I was able to reminisce and visit with him a few weeks ago while he was still at the manoir. We may have been co-workers for years but we have been friends forever. Safe travels on those highways of heaven Hollis.

I had to pleasure of spending a couple weeks with Hollis when he came in to visit his daughter Julie Temm (My Wife) and he was just amazing. Incredible stories, prideful and humble man. He was so loving to everyone around him. My parents got to meet him and it was just a thrill. He will be truly missed. Godspeed Hollis. A father in law I wish had more time with.
May my support warm your heart

Dear Brian,
I was so sad to hear about your father’s passing. Please know that you, Lysa the children, and your whole family are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Losing a father leaves such a deep void, and no words can truly ease that loss. I hope you can find some comfort in the love of family and in the many memories you shared with him.
A tree is planted in memory of the deceased
