He met his wife in 1999 and the two shared a deep love and connection and were married 11 months later in July of 2000. They joined two families and had four boys together. Don was a loving dad, while knowing he wasn’t perfect, he loved and guided these boys into beautiful men. Don’s heart was to help people, even when he was in the late stages of Alzheimer’s. Don had an amazing sense of humour always joking and trying to make people laugh. Everyone Don met became an instant friend. He loved music, playing guitar and singing. He had Faith and was dependent on God to lead him in his life. We all Love you, Don Crossley. Thankyou for your love.
