Later Career
In 1959, with fellow SRI engineers David Bennion, Charles Rosen, and Howard Zeidler, Crane co-founded Ridge Vineyards. One of its red wines placed fifth in the Judgment of Paris wine tasting.
Crane's last intellectual effort was promoting the use of a cubic mile of oil as an energy measure, and development of a manuscript on issues related to energy development, in collaboration with SRI-International colleagues: Ed Kinderman, and Ripudaman Malhotra. Crane died from complications of Alzheimer's disease on June 17, 2008 at his home in Portola Valley, California.
