Charles W. Crosson Sr., son of the late Sydney Crosson and Louise (Hunter) Crosson, was born Thursday, October 15, 1942, in Sumter, South Carolina. His family relocated to Steelton, PA, in 1955, where Charles graduated from Steelton-Highspire High School, Class of 1963. After high school, Charles served honorably in the United States Air Force as a Fuel Specialist at Homestead AFB in Florida and overseas at Andersen AFB in Yigo, Guam. Charles was an entrepreneur and a dedicated employee retiring from the American Can Company and Hershey Foods Corporation. Charles had a passion for thoroughbred horse racing and was a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles Fan. He had a calm spirit and will be remembered as a charming and charismatic conversationalist blessed with the gift of storytelling. He enjoyed discussing sports, past and current events and was not shy about fluently expressing his opinions on politics with articulation and expressiveness. Additionally, he boasted of having a decent singing voice which admittedly was true. His deep and hearty laughter will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by many. Finally, above all, Charles loved his family, the Hunter-Crosson-Taylor-Brown Clan. He was a consistent figure at the Family Crab Feast, Pig Roast, Reunions and other special events.
