Carol Ray Crittenden Sr.
On October 17, 2019, Carol Ray Crittenden, Sr., 79, of North Chesterfield, Virginia went home to be with the Lord after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He is survived by his wife, Robin, children Matthew, Synthia and William, granddaughter Brittany and one great grandchild; brother William, sister Carlita, nephew Wayne and niece Cora. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alva and Mary and son RC.
A genuine family man who loved nothing more than being with his family, Ray loved everyone. He never met a stranger and lived by the words of treating others as you would want to be treated. Selfless, kind and generous, his heartwarming smile will never be forgotten.

Robin and Matthew,
I send you both prayers of comfort and peace. You did everything you could to make sure Ray’s last years were at home, where he could feel comfortable and loved. That commitment doesn’t come naturally to everyone, and I’m sure he appreciated it, and loved you both dearly, even when he couldn’t say so. Deepest sympathy for your loss. Marie

RIH daddy. You & Robin are shining examples of love & dedication. Dad, I will always remember your words of wisdom, your diplomacy, and most of all, your silliness. You could bring a rainbow on the rainiest of days.
My love for you could never be expressed in words. Every kid in this world, deserves a dad like you.
I am just now seeing this, and my heart is sad. I loved working with Ray via the Pear Bureau. He supported my gift business with wild enthusiasm, and our partnership was quite fruitful. What a kind and generous man. I am sorry we did not stay in touch after he left the bureau. Thinking of all who loved him. I am so grateful I knew Ray!
