Trist iawn clywed am Mr Crabtree wedi ein gadael yn ddiweddar yn 98 oed. Fel teyrnged William H Owen mi roeddwn hefyd yn un o'i ddisgyblion ar ddechrau Ysgol Ardudwy yng mis Medi 1956. Yn ystod fy nghyfnod yn yr ysgol fe drawsnewidiodd Mr Crabtree y brif gêm dîm o bêl-droed i rygbi ac roeddwn y'n ffodus i fod yn nhîm yr ysgol yn chwarae yn erbyn nifer o Ysgolion Cymreig eraill a'r fyddin yn Tonfanau. Roedd yn wych am annog y prowes athletaidd allan o'i ddisgyblion a llwyddodd i fy nghael i mewn i'r rasys rhedeg pellterau hir fel y rhas un filltir o gwmpas trac ac hefyd yr ras hanner marathon traws gwlad o fewn Sir Feirionnydd a’r cylch ac i gynrychioli'r sir ei hun yn y ddwy ar adegau. Yn anffodus ni chyfarfûm ag ef pan ddaeth i fyw yn Llanbedr ac erbyn hynny roeddwn wedi gadael am borfeydd newydd. Gorffwys mewn heddwch Mr Crabtree.

Extremely sorry and very sad to hear of Mr Crabtree recent passing at the good age of 98. Like William H Owen’s tribute I was also one of his pupils at the start of the Ysgol Ardudwy in September 1956. During my time at the school he transformed the main team game from football to rugby and I was fortunate and privileged to be in the school team playing against numerous other Welsh Schools and also the army in Tonfanau. He was brilliant at encouraging the athletic prowess out of his pupils and managed to get me into the long-distance running races both the one-mile tack event and the half marathon cross country events within Merioneth county and to represent the county itself in both. Sadly I did not meet him when he came to live in Llanbedr by which time I had left for pastures new. Mr Crabtree rest in peace.

Ei gofio yn yr wythnos gyntaf pan agorodd Ysgol Ardudwy, yn ei ddillad gwyn i gyd. Mewn ‘gym’ newydd yn sgleinio. Dwi’n siwr iddo sefyll ar ei ben ar un o’r matiau i ddangos mor hawdd oedd gwneud hynny. Tipyn o gymeriad. Ei weld 12 mlynedd yn ol yn disgwyl ambiwlans yn Ysbyty Gwynedd. Roedd yn fy nghofio a finnau heb ei weld ers gadael yr ysgol. Cofio iddo ddweud ei fod yn 86 amser hynny. Anhygoel

Remember Mr Crabtree in the first week after moving from Barmouth GS, in the new gym dressed in white from top to bottom. I’m sure he stood on his head to show how easy it was! Last time I saw him was 12 years ago waiting for an ambulance to go home from Ysbyty Gwynedd. He recognised me and I hadn’t seen him since I left school in 1963. Remarkable memory. Quite a character, Mr Crabtree. Never knew about the Egryn!
