Ernie was active in the Air Force for several years and returned home in 1966.  Eventually he went into the agriculture business and ended up in Texas.  Ernie loved his family and adored his grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He also loved all the kids that came out to the pumpkin patch and the Nights of the Haunted Forest.  He enjoyed fishing, camping, working in the garden, and Friday night drinks on the deck.

Ernie was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Barbara Crossman; their son, John Phillip; his parents, Ernest and Michelina Crossman; and his sister, Susan Selby.

He is survived by his sisters, Josephine Harvey and husband Bob of Danbury, Connecticut; Maggie O’Conner and husband Thom of Ringtown, Pennsylvania; sons, Ernie Crossman, Jr. of Denison, and James Crossman of Savoy; daughters, Linda Colclasure of Sherman, and Darlene Lemons and husband Bryan of Era; eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

    So glad I got to meet Grandpa Ernest and share quality time with him and Barbara. He treated me like a granddaughter when I moved to Texas and I am very grateful for him and Barbara.
