For thirty-five years, Pueblo High School was the center of my entire professional life.  While the decision was and still remains very difficult, I believe it was simply time for me to take the next step in my life. I would like to be available to help shapes the lives of some other children, my grandchildren.  First and foremost, I want to spend more time with my loving wife who has without reservation given up her summers and holidays to support me throughout this endeavor.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sincerely,<br \/>\nGary Crane<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1473\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1473\" style=\"width: 422px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Gary-Kelly-Crane.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1472]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1473\" title=\"Gary &amp; Kelly Crane\" src=\"https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Gary-Kelly-Crane.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"422\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Gary-Kelly-Crane.jpg 422w, https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Gary-Kelly-Crane-351x500.jpg 351w, https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Gary-Kelly-Crane-386x550.jpg 386w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1473\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary &amp; Kelly Crane at last home game this season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Coach Crane has touched many young athletes here at Pueblo and his presence will be missed!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On behalf of the entire Pueblo family, enjoy your retirement Coach.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1482\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Coach-Crane-1977.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1472]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1482\" title=\"Coach Crane 1977\" src=\"https:\/\/pueblowarriors.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Coach-Crane-1977.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coach Crane (Far Left) in 1977.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pueblo&#8217;s athletic department is sad to announce the retirement of \u00a0Gary Crane as head basketball coach. \u00a0After 35 years of loyal service to his alma mater, Coach Crane has decided to move on to another chapter in his life.
