Janie,
  I offer my condolences to you and your dear family at this time of your Dad's death. I was glad to have known him at least some through you. I am very impressed with the many good things he had accomplished, as noted in the obituary. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. - Kenny Jones

I met Anne and Bill Crosby in the early 50's when my Mother moved to San Mateo.  They were two of the finest peple I have ever known.  Anne, with her warm smile and beautiful voice and Bill with his dry wit.  They were the heart and soul of the community.  I know they are together in heaven and we have lost two of God's gift to humanity.

We have so many good memories of Bill and Anne -- the time Anne, Ruth Rogero and i, along with all of our children, climbed the mountain with Bunk, hardly bigger than a minute, climbing that mountain like a fly on the wall  -- the trips to the ruby mine  -- the mountain streams with amethysts  -- the field trip to Gainesville to search for shark's teeth -- the Children's Museum -- Boy Scouts -- Recreation Club and Phil will never forget the comraderie of the card players, Bill, Joe, Tommy, Harry -- the fishing trips and that deep sea trip during rough seas.  I think it was Bill who remarked at the end of that grueling trip, "I'm supposed to pay for this!"
Through the years we've not been as close as we once were, but the Crosby family will be always with us in our hearts and memories.
