Charles Richard "Dick" Crosby

Nonie: i was made aware of Dick's passing this week and wanted to offer my condolences to you. While we didn't have the opportunity to know one another well during my years as your neighbor, your dedication to him was unmistakable! I have no doubt you were central to his life well lived and send love to you during this sad time. Deb

Such a wonderful gentleman you are Mr. Crosby. We are so blessed to have known you. Your joy is full now as you rest in God's care. We love you and Nonie. May the peace only God can give comfort those who are saddened yet celebrate the wonderful life you lived. We will see you again.
Much love from Ken and Debi Brown

I remember Dr Crosby well, he was my professor at the College of Charleston. He was a great educator and a good man. He taught me a lot of computer technology. Thank You Dr Crosby. Rest in peace my friend. God Bless

Nonie,

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. My memories of Dr. Crosby come from growing up in First (Scots). In addition to Sunday mornings, I remember seeing him at Bridge whenever I happened to be around on a Tuesday. One summer, when I was home from Spring Break, I was walking into the church as you were arriving for Bridge. Dr. Crosby was in a wheelchair at the time, and I wheeled him in while you parked the car. I remember his foot slipped and when I realized it, I felt...

Nonie - I'm so sorry for your loss. Comfort and peace to you in the days ahead

Condolences and prayers to the family and friends. Dr Crosby taught me in Computer Science at the College of Charleston and I ended up graduating with a major in CS. Thank you for your knowledge, Dr Crosby. I always thought you were brilliant and you were an excellent teacher. Rest in peace.

When I came to the College of Charleston as Dean of Sciences and Mathematics in the summer of 1991, Dick was one of the first people with whom I worked closely. I learned right away that Dick had very strong opinions and that he argued for them strongly and effectively. What was most impressive was that in the few times that he proved to be wrong, he admitted it as quickly and openly as he had first proposed his opinion.

Dear Nonie,

I am saddened by your loss of Dick but bolstered by the many happy years you had together. Dick arrived at The College when we did so we all shared the fun of those early years, including the bridge games! I enjoyed being able to see you at Wando and hope that you still have many happy days ahead with your son and many friends. I am certain that Joe would join me in offering our condolences. Fondly, Roban Benich

Dick was my advisor in computer science at the College of Charleston (CofC) and my friend as well since I am only 15 years his junior. His advice was instrumental in guiding my career path through Ph.D. to teaching in the computer science department at CofC. I was honored to hold for a few years the teaching chair he endowed. Bon voyage my friend - I will miss you!
