Obituary of Charles Fuller Crossman

Sackville, N.B.- It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Charles Crossman, age 65, at the Drew Nursing Home on Sunday, January 3, 2010. Charles endured a long illness and passed away with his loving family by his side. Born in Sackville, N.B. on October 30, 1944, he was the son of Geneva (Wheaton ) and the late Beverly Crossman. Charles worked at Enterprise Foundry and as a custodian for District #2 until his declining health forced him to take early retirement. He was a member of Main Street Baptist Church and Brotherhood. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, golfing and spending time at his cottage. Charles will be remembered by his grandchildren for the stories he told around the campfire at his cottage and for his great sense of humor to all who knew him.
