This site is dedicated to the memory of John Crosby.
Samuel John Crosby, or John as he was known to his friends and family, survived for only 10 weeks after being diagnosed with MND. His premature death aged only 60, left two Children and four Grandchildren.
John lived alone with his beloved dog, insisting on maintaining his independence right until his demise. All money raised on these pages will be earmarked as being donations made via this Tribute Fund when they reach Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Kind Regards, Heather McGhie

Thoughts
To me John was a big man.
As a Father-in-Law and as a friend, he was a true Gent. We had many laughs together over the years and many serious conversations. John knew when he was never going to win with my wife, and when it was best to shut up. But when we were alone he was never frightened to air his opinion, before also listening to mine.
I can truely say I miss John dearly, and wish I could have done more to help him when he needed it most.

My grandad was very funny and always told a lot of jokes. He was always happy to see us and he worshipped his dog. My grandad was the best grandad that you could get and we all loved him to bits.We will miss him forever and there's not a day goes by when I don't think about him.

My dad was head strong, & determind to keep his independance right until his death. He refused help from any one other than immediate family & refused accomadation that would be better for him because he would not of been able to keep his dog who he dearly loved. My dad was one of the very few who also suffered from dementia which made it more difficult to communicate with others but he never lost his sense of humour with his grandchildren.
