When I think of Mr. Chrane, I can’t help but smile. He always made me laugh, usually followed with my reply of “behave yourself!” Our professional relationship grew into a friendship, one that I’ll cherish forever. I’m lucky to have known him and his wife, Rita and of course precious little Cowboy. Mr. Chrane loved his family more than anything and always spoke so proudly of his sons. He is and will be greatly missed.
In1986 I returned to college at Stanly Community College. That was the first year that they introduced the Computer Engineering Program taught by Tom. There were several of us who began, but only 5 graduated. He weeded out the ones who weren't really interested, but he was a good fair instructor. He will be missed by many.
Rita, I am very sorry for your loss. Tom was a likeable person, and you will be in my prayers and thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear. Tom was a good friend and colleague of mine at CPCC. He was always upbeat and a resource for his students. My thoughts are with the family.
