Charles M. Crump, former chancellor of the Diocese of West Tennessee and deputy to 17 General Conventions, has died in Memphis, Tenn. He was 96.
He retired from a 71-year career in law on his 95th birthday in October 2008. He resigned as the diocese’s chancellor at the same time, and declined to run for election to the 76th General Convention.
During my three GC’s, Mr. Crump was sometimes the only thing that kept me from doing myself or someone else in! He was delightful, witty, intelligent and a basic nice guy.
