So sad to hear of the passing of Del Crandall. He had a lot of great accomplishments. To the family I offer my sympathy.

Growing up in Wauwatosa, WI as a neighbor of Del and his family, I had the honor to work for Del while attending Wauwatosa East High School; I cut/trimmed his lawn, washed his cars/windows and did odd jobs for the family. He mentored me as a student/athlete and often gave me Braves' box seat tickets to attend three World Series and multiple games to each for our family of four. He also offered to write a letters of reference to both the Air Force Academy and the University of Wisconsin for...

My condolences go out to the Crandall family on the death of Dale. So sorry for your loss.

My sincerest condolences to the friends and family of Del; keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Crandall Family, kindly accept my sincere condolence with the passing of Mr. Crandall. I had the honor of meeting Del at the Boston Braves Historical Association some years ago. He was the hit of the afternoon, a real gentleman, posing for photos and signing autographs for everyone. I have a great photo of Del that means a great deal to me. The last Boston Brave. It had to be Del, a heck of a ballplayer, and as I mentioned, a real gentleman. May God Bless Del and the Crandall Family.

My deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of All-Star catcher, Del Crandall. At this difficult time, may the God of tender mercies comfort you and may your memories be held close to your heart.

One of the Best in everything he did. One of the good guys. Rest in Peace.

Del was my uncle. I lived in Fullerton until my Dad moved us to Meadow Vista Ca in 1959. I was twelve. I knew my uncle was a ball player but I didn’t know he was one of the greats. In the off season he just worked a regular job. He’d show up at community functions and he was a frequent presenter of merit badges at my Cub Scout monthly awards ceremony. Ran a free youth baseball clinic every Saturday at Amerage {sp} Park. Furnished all snacks and refreshments. I don’t ever recall my uncle...
