Fr. Crowdy died, aged 92, on The Feast of the Assumption 2006, his last Mass for SSPX was at Taunton on All Saints, immediately thereafter going to stay with the Bevan family for his final days. Up until then, he had been staying at SSPX Bristol, with Fr. Leo Boyle and others - it was then, indeed, a very happy house.
At one point he was constrained not to Celebrate Mass at outlying centres, however, when the clergy returned, they discovered that Fr. Crowdy had taken Communion to a person an even further distance. I had a meeting with Fr. Crowdy at Bristol, when he was over 90,and upon arriving discovered he had gone to Celebrate Mass in Dorset and was expected imminently. In due course he arrived clothed in motor cycling gear and a WW II gas cape, when told he was on his newly acquired motorbike, I thought it was a joke, it was not!
Truly, "A priest forever ...... " RIP!
