Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

To Crystal, our hearts are broken in the passing of Crosby your life partner of 40 years. Crosby was our brother and uncle to our niece. Crosby knew everything about Atlanta (the old and the new) and the countless stories he told about growing up (in Atlanta). One in particular was how he and friends would go to a field on Ponce De Leon (it was called Spiller Field now its the Midtown Place Shopping Center) and watch the Old Negro League Baseball teams play. They had to watch thru the fence or climb on the fence to watch. We will always cherish the precious memories of the vacations we went on, going out of town (recently to the Safari) the countless Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July, and Thansgiving dinners we shared through out the years The phone rang the other night and I thought it was Crosby calling us about the game. But it wasn't him. Crystal may our Father God strengthen you with his love, we love you Michelle, JoJo and Roxie
