Lawrence Crosier

HALIFAX - Lawrence Eugene Crosier died May 11, at his home in Halifax.
Larry was born in Halifax on October 19, 1942, the son of Paul D. and Margaret E. (Hill) Crosier. He attended Halifax School and Whitingham High School and married Vera M. Chase on January 31, 1970, in Keene, NH.
Crosier started work on the Halifax Highway Department road crew at age 17 and continued until the mid-1970s. He and Vera delivered mail for 12 years along the Jacksonville Stage route. For years he repaired vehicles in his garage for neighbors and friends and passed on his love, appreciation, and automotive knowledge to anyone who wanted advice or to talk about cars. He especially enjoyed keeping the center in Halifax mowed, brush cleared and looking well-kept, including mowing the church lawn and plowing out the mailboxes.
Larry was preceded in death by his wife Vera and his son Michael. He is survived by his son Paul, his wife Michelle (Maynard), and their son Eli; as well as Michael’s children Kody, Alec, and Addison. Larry is also survived by his brother James and his daughters; as well as by two daughters from a previous marriage, Laurie Spear and Holly Oliveira and their families.

Anyone who wishes to share their memories or stories is invited to join the family or is welcome to send correspondence to 72 Old County Road, West Halifax, VT 05358.
