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 me to do Things right. and he will always be til i'm gone.

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.

Mr.Stanley Crosby & Family;
Coach Crosby will be miss by so many who loved him dearly. The last words I had with him was to let him know that his Quarter-back from W.J class 0f '81 Stacy Powell had finally graduated from St.Leo Univesity in Atlanta,Ga. with a degree in Criminial Justice. He was so proud to hear that news! We will continue to keep you & your family in all of our Prayers. You know Coach Crosby finally won the biggest championship there is"The White Robe with the Golden Crown" may he rest in peace.Amen!
