Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
All of Dr. Crow’s patients, friends, medical students and residents will miss him greatly. He was an outstanding physician, teacher and person. He was a founding father of the KU School of Medicine – Wichita and his contributions to the medical community in Wichita are legendary. I am proud that I had a cardiology rotation in residency with Dr. Crow and that I could later call him a colleague. We have lost one of the all-time best.
Dr. Crow was my cardiologist for many, many years from when I was young until he retired. My wife and I totally appreciate his style and comfort and help. He was a great, good man. Thank you for sharing him with others.
