Anyone who attended Father Crombie´s mass was blessed. He was such a humble man and always had a great sermon and made you smile. He will be missed. God bless.

What a wonderful priest, a wonderful person! Knew Father Crombie from St. Paul's where my (Bill) mother, Mary Devlin, went and loved his sermons and enjoyed commiserating about the Red Sox. And loved chatting with him as he walked by my (Jane) parent's house on Maple Road in Longmeadow.

I will always be thankful to Father Crombie for his part in bringing my family back to the church. My children certainly gave him fuel to crack a joke with their random sighs or cries (he usually connected them to a Red Sox loss ). My father, who has also passed, looked forward to Sunday mass because of Fr Crombie. I am sure they are having great conversations once again. Thank you Father Crombie, you will be missed.

Father Crombie was an awesome priest known to us from his time at St. Paul´s. God blessed him with a brilliant mind and he shared that gift often in amazing homilies.

Blessed to be at St. Paul's for many ,many years. His homilies--always inspiring! What a wonderful Priest! I will miss seeing him at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Springfield where he often attended daily Mass.

Fr. Crombie was a wonderful priest, a lot smarter than people realized. He married us in 96. The homily was classic Fr. Crombie: witty, thought provoking, filled with baseball references and short. We will miss him. RIP.

Father Crombie was an amazing man. He was an avid Red Sox fan. Even made reference to making sure he doesn´t miss the game on my wedding day because I was late. Many laughs and wonderful memories with him. May he rest in peace.
