My mother worked for Dr. Crow for years. June Donofrio. They were quite a team. Just finding out about his death, was very heartwrenching. He was not only very professional and up to date on his practice but a kind and good natured man.
Dr. Crow and his family lived next door on Lakeshore Drive while I was growing up in Mount Dora. My memories of him was that he was a kind man. I was a youngster myself, and not much older than his children. The memories are fond

I met Bobby shortly after moving to Orlando in 1975 as a young cardiologist,.he encouraged and supported me from the beginning and we became fast professional and social friends. We golfed locally and quail hunted yearly in my hometown of Valdosta and other South Georgia hunting plantations. I talked to him at least weekly journal about mutual patients and their problems. He was a very thorough physician.
In 1987 I got a call from Bobby in my office and he was concerned about some vague palpitations which he had recently experienced. I told him to come on down the same day and we did an ultrasound of his heart which to my shock and amazement showed a large aneurysm of the aorta just above the aortic valve . I called immediately Dr. Crawford A renown cardiac surgeon who specialized in aortic surgery. Given the size of the aneurysm we felt there was some urgency and so the following day we flew on a private plane to Houston in the following day Bobby had surgery replacing the aortic valve and repairing the aorta. I stayed a day or two with Elaine following surgery and Bobby returned home about seven days later and recovered nicely over the next several weeks. Dr. Crawford the surgeon said the aneurysm was one of the largest he had ever seen. Bobby went on to continue his practice and enjoy everything about life. He lived for 34 years after his surgery. We return to reliving stories, golfing and quail hunting. The later years separated us a bit due you to age etc. I still think of him often and respected him greatly as a Physician and trusted friend. They just don’t make them anymore like Bobby Crow. My life has been better having had him as a glass half full friend.

I bolted down 2 gun safes for Doc and cleaned all his guns more than once. My first wife Ellen worked as one of his Nurses until he retired. Doc had a great personality.
