He instilled values in his children that will be carried on throughout their lives. He touched the lives of so many with his love and generosity. Don loved fishing and just being outdoors. Don was a Crosby; if you have ever met a Crosby, you would know they would give the shirts off their backs and their last cent to clothe and feed anyone in need. Don never thought himself above or better than his fellow man. Don left this world as one of the wealthiest men, not a wealth of money, but a wealth of love that he gave and received. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends as he is reunited in Heaven with so many loved ones that have gone before him.
