Robert Crow Obituary
February 24, 1938 - February 12, 2022
Charlottesville, Virginia - Robert Henry Crow, Jr. (Bob), age 83, of Charlottesville, VA went to his heavenly home on February 12, 2022. Born in Spartanburg, SC, he was the son of the late Dr. Robert H. Crow and Juanita Elizabeth Gregory Crow of Cowpens, SC. He was also preceded in death by a daughter, Virginia Anne Crow. He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Anne P. Crow, son Gregory Thomas Crow (Dawn), daughter Elizabeth Anne Crow, brother Kenneth Crow (Dianne), six grandchildren and one great-grandson.
Bob was a member of First Baptist Church, Charlottesville, VA, where he had served as a Sunday school teacher, deacon, on the church council, and many committees.
Bob's love of missions and helping people led him on three mission trips to China and serving others in the community.
Bob graduated from The Citadel in Charleston, SC. He continued his love of learning by teaching at Fork Union Military Academy and working as Director of Adult and Continuing Education at the University of Virginia and as Dean of Continuing Education at Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton, SC.
The family would like to thank the staff at The Harbor at Stanardsville, VA who all became like family to us, and Heartland Hospice for their loving care.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Interment will be a private service at Antioch Baptist Church, Yale, VA.
The family suggests memorial contributions be made to The Mission Fund, First Baptist Church, 735 Park Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902 or Alzheimer's Association, 355 Rio Road West, Suite 102, Charlottesville, VA 22901.

I was saddened to read about Bob's passing. He was the center director when I first began working at UVA Continuing Ed. Tom Gill and I both have such good memories about what a wonderful guy Bob was. I called Tom to tell him...we reminisced about those times so long ago. Please accept our sincere sympathies and know that many, many people keep your husband, dad, and granddad in their thoughts. His death is a loss for many.

Dear Anne and extended Crow family -- Bob was one of the best friends we had at First Baptist - he was convinced we were relatives (Alexis Crow) because I didn't have an "e" on my last name. Perhaps we were. What we can say for sure is that he was always there to welcome the newcomer, the stranger and the potential friend! He loved the Lord and now he will be enjoying the rewards of a life of dedication and service. To the family, please accept our sincerest condolences as you adjust to Bob's homegoing. We will look forward even more to the grand reunion that we know awaits us. Until then, we will miss him and cherish his memory and that great big smile and outstretched hand. love to you all, Alexis Crow, Bill McCoy and Maggie McCoy
