EASTON - Peter passed away peacefully on December 3, 2020. Tough as nails as he always was, he fought a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
He was the husband to Jeanne Crosby, father to Jennifer Crosby-Kyed (Doug), Jessica Crosby (Jesse), Brian Crosby, and Aidan Crosby; grandfather to Olivia Kyed and Norah Bottoms. Peter was also the son of his beloved mother Carol W. Crosby and her first husband, the late Henry Manning. When Carol remarried John B. Crosby, he adopted Peter and became his father. He was the brother to Cynthia (Mark), John (Betsy), Nancy (Bob), and Sharon (Jim). Peter also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. He was also adored by many other family members and friends.
Born in Worcester in 1961, Peter later relocated to Cape Cod where he found so many loves of his life: his wife Jeanne, the ocean, and concrete formwork. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family of six. Even in his final weeks, he was reviewing foundation plans and quoting jobs so that he could continue to be helpful to his son, Brian, who had taken over the reins from his father. He loved what he did, and treasured the people that worked for and with him, and the stories they came with.
Peter was his kids’ biggest fan. He never missed a game or a road race and was first to arrive when his granddaughters were born.
He loved Cape Cod - visiting with “Ma,” and being the first in the ocean each year. He loved classic rock, his pick-up truck, and a cooler full of Budweiser. He had a million wild stories he loved to tell, and could tell like no one else, for seemingly hours. Simply put, he was a legend.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the family hopes to plan a celebration of life at a later date.
