"My deepest sympathies on hearing of the passing of Mr. Crepeau. Mrs. Crepeau was my babysitter in the mid 70s. Actually thought we might have been inlaws back when, Tommy and my sister Elaine were dating. But life had different paths for them. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Rachel (Peloquin) Daly, Lydia ave, neighbor. "
