ALLAN JAMES CROSSMAN
August 19, 1937 - June 13, 2022
With great sadness, we announce the passing of Allan Crossman, from a courageous battle with cancer.
Allan is survived by his wife Margaret; his children, Sandy (Dahlton), Jamie (Angie), Arlene (Rick); grandchildren, Jeannine (Jamie), Cody, Ryan, Colin, Ray (Nyla); and great-granddaughter Mariah (Joey). Also survived by his sister Helen Rygmyr of Florida, brother Larry Crossman (Judy) of Vancouver Island and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brother-in-law Rick Jenken and son in-law Rob Fournier.
Allan spent most of his life in Hazelridge, farming with his parents and then with his own children. Since the early 1940s he spent summers in Gull Harbour on Hecla Island where they had a small cottage. Allan greatly enjoyed his time at the lake and was very close with his cousins (the Gillespie's) who also had a cottage there until the early 1970s. It was a place and time near and dear to his heart. In the late 1990s Hecla Island was re-opened to cottagers and with the help of their family, Al and Marg built a beautiful home on the lake where many more happy and memorable years were enjoyed by all.
A celebration of Allan's life will be held at a later date. Friends and relatives are encouraged to share tributes and condolences for the family at www.seasonsfunerals.com

Sorry to hear of Al's passing. He had a very interesting life. Al took us on boat rides at Gull Harbor on Hecla Island. He was the Captain. And he built his own speed boat with a Mercury outboard motor and we flew on the water! Allan also built a little sailboat for us kids to sail at Gull Harbor. So my generation of Gillespie's all have fond memories of Allan Crossman! Love, Richard Gillespie and family. - Posted by: Richard Gillespie (cousin) on: Jun 20, 2022

I remember coming out to the farm and Hazelridge as a childhood memory and what a wonderful guy that Alan was. He was such a quiet man whih a very quiet disposition. May God wrap His arms and you all and give you the strength and courage 2 carry on during this difficult time. - Posted by: Kathy Burbank (Friend ) on: Jun 19, 2022

We are so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. We were neighbours in St. Vital and Al was one of the best neighbours you could ask for- always friendly and helpful, always smiling and made the best compost! Margaret and family, please accept our condolences and know Al is safe in God’s hands. - Posted by: Lynn Gillson (Former Neighbour) on: Jun 18, 2022
