Althea Crane, the widow of the great champion and gentleman Irving Crane, has passed away last week at the age of 98 having celebrated her birthday in her home with her wonderful and very large family of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Althea was a wise, kind and very sweet woman who loved her family and her life very much. May she rest in peace as her soul joins that of her beloved husband Irving wherever they are....

They were and are... my dearest friends. Love and Peace.


(The obituary will be out on Tuesday in the Rochester newspaper. Please respect their family and allow some space for them at this time.)
 
I was unaware Mr. Crane had a wife who lived until last week.

If they can now be reunited, how wonderful that would be.

RIP to them both.

best,

In the interview of Irving in his 70's he talked about how much he still loved to compete and said "you can ask my wife". Condolences to family and friends.
 
God Bless her. Mr. Crane was a true gentleman and I still enjoy watching him play in old videos.

In February 1939, at age 26, Crane ran 150 balls and out against his opponent in an exhibition straight pool match on a difficult 5' by 10' table in Layton, Utah. While this was impressive in and of itself, at the crowd's urging, he continued his run, ultimately pocketing 309 consecutive balls thus shattering the previous world record of 244 consecutive balls.
