Roy Croshaw was a benevolent, honest, and gentle man who impacted countless lives for good. All who crossed his path were the better for the experience. We do not doubt his distinguished graduation to an exalted level of the Spirit World for a jubilent reunion with his progenitors. Together, they will continue to advance the cause of truth, as they did here on earth. The world and we lingering mortals are all the lesser for Roy's passing. It is now left to us heed his example and fill the void.
Respectfully,
David Croshaw and Family

Dearest Donna and family,
Roy made a profound impact on my life the short time I was a part of your wonderful family. My heart is saddened by his passing and yet filled with joy knowing he is with his creator! The angels are singing on high and Roy is praising and worshiping God! How awesome is that! While he'll be truly missed on this earth, his "life" is truly just beginning!
May God keep you all in His comforting arms and give you wonderful memories to make you smile!

We have such good memories of Brother Roy as he taught our boys in Priesthood classes and set such a good example of caring for others. We wish you the best Donna Mae and know that you will miss him greatly. We are serving a mission in St. George or otherwise certainly would have attended the funeral.
