Today's doctors are probably under more presssure to quickly see and diagnose patients and they achieve this with the minimum of fuss - so hat's off to them. They are a different breed from the old doctors of the past, but no less talented.

solstice Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 None of the names look familier, it was along time ago, which one are you? I`ve got a picture of my class mates from 1964ish and I can`t remember any of their names. I can`t go on the 26th I have to work. So James is a professor, I wonder what his sister Joanna is doing now? I wish I had studied more at school. lol.

JDR Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Everyone will be glad to hear that Dr Cranes memorial service happened yesterday and was touching and heartfelt by everyone there. Lots of people went to show their feeling of loss for such a generous and kind man whose home was always open to those in need. Plenty of England players showed up and alledgedly even Arsene Wenger made an appearance. It just goes to show what a truely wonderful gentleman he was that so many people wanted to show their affections. I know the family felt very appreciative of the huge warmth and depth of feeling that was expressed Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5084-dr-john-crane-rip/page/2/#findComment-175771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy22 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Dr Crane was also my GP, i lived in Darwin st and went to Townsend Primary school.I totally agree he was a wonderful man. His skill and dedication saved my life literally. I now live in kent and was so shocked and saddened when i heard tonight why the team were wearing the black armbands.His was my claim to fame and earned me many brownie points with my son when i told him years ago that THE England Dr was once also mine! I remember his smile, his caring nature and his wonderful humour.Nothing was too much trouble day or night weekends or at un godly hours of the night. My love a deep gratitude to him and his family.

Lovely sentiments Poppy, and how very well deserved!Do you agree that we had a real Community then and how sad it was that they built those Estates that began to destroy that Spirit?..I live in Bexley, along (it seems) with half of Walworth!..they even held a 25-year Re-Union of Walworth School in Bexley as most had moved out.:))Did most of your friends/neighbours move out to Kent/Surrey too during The 1970's/89's/90's Poppy?

JDR Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 This is dragging an old thread up but for anyone interested Dr Crane is being remembered by Southwark with other people and families who lived and worked in the area. I have just returned from the naming of John Crane street which is a new build of the regeneration of the Aylesbury estate. His wife Penny made a small speech alongside other families who are being remembered in this way. His wonderful memory will live on Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5084-dr-john-crane-rip/page/2/#findComment-684561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
