Edward Luis Crabbe ’24

Body

ED CRABBE died in Torns River, NJ., May 1, 1990. He joined the Farmers Loan & Trust Co. shortly after graduation. When that company was taken over by the First National City Bank of New York in 1929, he went along, and remained with them until he retired as a V.P. in 1962. He was also a director of the First National Bank of Toms River. His principal interest was boats and cruising. He was a member of the Cruising Club of America, the Toms River Yacht Club, and the Princeton and Racquet and Tennis Clubs of N.Y. He was a commander in the Navy during WWII. Ed never married. He is survived by his sister, Emily Crabbe Ballou, to whom we extend our sympathy.

Fond Memories of My Uncle

Uncle Ed and I were very close and I still miss him today. He lived very close to my family and he was the only uncle I ever knew. His brother, Uncle Beck, died when I was very young. I sailed or cruised with him many times in the various boats he owned. He never replaced my father but he was certainly a close second. Both he and my father taught me many things about sailing and seamanship. When I was in my teens, my sister Sarah and I would go to New York City for a Broadway musical with him.
