Henry Richard Crosby

I Only Went to School at West Jeff for a year and a half. Played football for one year, but the imprint that this man and his staff made upon me has lasted all my life. Not to many days past that I don't think about him and the other coaches. they taught us how to win and lose with character, and most of all to believe in yourself and what you are doing. I see the careers and fruits of his labor and love of teaching throughout the parish and beyond. I know he is always on my shoulder guiding...

COACH YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO MANY OF US AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GUIDANCE IN MY LIFE, GOD IS WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND LOVES YOU AND SO DO I.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

A special thanks to a man that touched our lives and played such an important part in our education. You will never be forgotten.

Stanley, Ms. Hilda, Claudette, Debra & Family, your husband, father & brother was a coach to everyone, not only in sports. Sorry I could not be with you in your time of sorrows, but my thoughts and prayers were. Earth's lost and Heaven's gain. Look to God for your strength. Love you all.

Coach taught me that five yards was a good play and to keep trying to gain that five no matter what. That philosophy has served me pretty well over the years.

I had the privilege of being a student of Coach Crosby and his uplifting teaching style. He had an impact on all who crossed his path. My prayers are with you and your family. Just know that anyone who knew him - loved him.

Coach Crosby taught all of us to not only respect others but respect ourselves.To his family,please take comfort in knowing that he had a hand in molding so many young people into wonderful adults.
