He received his BS from California Institute of Technology in 1930 and his PhD in 1934. He came to the Physics Department of the University of Michigan in 1935 and spent his career there. He married Florence Rohmer LeBaron, December 30, 1934. She was an Ann Arbor City Council member (1957-61) and is now deceased. They were the parents of three children, Carol Ann, Janet and George Richard.

Crane's varied research interests have included nuclear physics, accelerator design, atomic structure, biophysics, radio-carbon dating, fundamental constants and geomagnetism. His most important work resulted in the measurement of the g-factor of the free electron and conception of the "racetrack" synchrotron -- a design still used in all major accelerators. He also researched topics related to physics teaching and science literacy.
