In addition to his wife, he is survived by: his daughter, Glenda S. Crimmel and her husband, Steve, of Harrisburg; one brother, Marlin D. Stitt, of Port Royal; two sisters, Christine Nickle, of Catlett, Va., and Betty Armstrong and her husband, Paul, of Port Royal; and he leaves behind two grandsons, Kevin Crimmel and Kyle Crimmel, of Harrisburg.
