   I'm sorry to have to report that Raymond F. Crapo has died.   
      
   He was a friend and neighbor.  There was little that he didn't know about the   
   transit system, electric railways, or The Bronx, and he was always glad to   
   share his knowledge.  His 1978 book, The Environment of the Traction Era: a   
   Brief Study of the    
   Electric Traction Industry in Its American Setting, reflected his interest in   
   not only the technology of transportation, but its social and economic   
   environment.   
      
   Ray had been active with the Shore Line museum, the Bronx Historical Society,   
   and the New York Division of the E.R.A.   Wake today, Thursday, at the Hodder   
   Farenga Funeral Home, 899 McLean Avenue, Yonkers (near Kimball Avenue);   
   funeral Friday at St.    
   Barnabas Church, Bronx (Martha Avenue and 241st Street).
