Ollie B. Crenshaw Jr.

On November 30, 2016 Ollie B. Crenshaw Jr. fell asleep in death at 7:50 am. in the Christiana Hospital, Newark Delaware. Ollie was born on September 11, 1926 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Estelle Lewis Crenshaw and Ollie B. Crenshaw Sr. Ollie started working at Diamond Shamrock, which later became Occidental Chemical Corporation for several years and later started a carpentry business, Ollie and Sons. On June 4, 1949, Ollie married Angela and they celebrated 67 wonderful years together. Ollie is preceded in death by his mother, Estelle Lewis Crenshaw; and father, Ollie B. Crenshaw Sr. He leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife, Angela Crenshaw, his daughter, Susan Henriquez, sons, Michael J. Crenshaw and Orlando Crenshaw, 8 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, 1 great- great grandchild, and nieces, nephews and cousins. Our Father, Grandfather, Uncle and Cousin was first and foremost one of Jehovah Witnesses for approximately 60 years and believed in the promise of the resurrection as recorded in John 5:28-29. He served Jehovah faithfully to the very end. Ollie or brother Crenshaw loved his spiritual brothers and sisters and will be missed by all. Ollie was a family man and loved to gather family and friends together for dinners, crab feasts and quality time. He had a love for fixing cars, carpentry, spending time with his grandchildren and mowing the lawn. He passed down his knowledge of cars and carpentry to his son’s, who have carried the legacy on by starting Renovations R Us. Ollie spent countless hours with his grandsons and great grandsons working on cars and giving life lessons. He was a fixer and he liked to get things done. He always checked on his grandchildren to make sure they knew he loved and missed them and at times to correct them. He never failed to talk about the truth to them and whatever direction they went they knew about Jehovah. Each of his grandchildren and friends can recount a story, memory or something he did or said, those memories and the love he provided will be forever missed.
