Our deep sympathy to all our Crouse cousins & their families. We will miss Uncle Tex. I shared a special bond as we both had March birthdays. He dearly loved his family and had a great intelligence, curiosity about everything, and wicked sense of humor! He always stopped at our home on Harrison St. to visit his sister Peg and get a snack.
We talked often lately and got to visit in September, for which we're grateful. We're sorry to be so far away & not attend his funeral, but you all are in our thoughts & prayers.
With love, Nancy, Tony, Jonathan, & Jeff

Dear Carlton, Jim, Joe, Janice, Arlene, Judy, and Marla,
Rev and I are deeply saddened at the loss of your Dad. We send our deepest sympathies to each of you and your families. At the same time we rejoice in his life and the joy he brought to all. He was truly one of a kind.
For me, it was always a treat to visit him. Over the nearly 14 years since my Dad passed, I loved listening to the stories of his life. It struck me how many challenges he overcame in his life. He was ever grateful in his stories to the guardian angels that helped him. He was indeed a gentle, caring soul.
He was creative for sure. He had many of the same qualities as my Dad when it came to solving problems; a doer and independent soul to the end. Whether it was making a table for his stereo or researching a new heating system, he was sharp and focused. He recited poetry he wrote over the years without notes as he sat in his chair. Without warning, his melodic and sweet voice would break out in a cute little song he remembered; that of course had a twist of words and a chuckle. And we would laugh.
He missed Aunt Mary Rosalie and talked about her so much. He was truly in love with her. We have a copy of the picture of him carrying her across the stream that he loved to show us. Now he is with her again, finally and I see them both smiling in heaven.
When I was with him, he would also tell me stories about him and my Dad. He would tell me how much he missed my Dad and I think it was somehow comforting to him I was there. In his house, on the wall was a picture of my Dad in his Army uniform. He was so proud of him and missed him. Now he is with him and I can see them both having a good time pulling pranks in heaven.
Your Dad will surely be missed. But his memories and lessons will live on forever in each of us who had the great fortune to have known him and be touched by his gentle soul.
He is now in a joyous place without pain, clear eyes, and his wife, brother and sisters who he loved so dearly.
God Bless All of You
Sam

My deepest sympathy to all my Crouse cousins. I will miss my Uncle Tex. I have really enjoyed my visits with him these past years. We always had a great time reminiscing and talking about our shared past. I learned a lot from our times together. I was happy to be able take him along on visits to Camp Irem, Camp Teddy Roosevelt and to visit cousin Niles. He so thoroughly enjoyed those trips.
He was incredibly proud of his children, grand children and great grandchildren.
Rest in peace, Uncle Tex
