Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

“And each one there has one thing shared, they have sweated beneath the same sun, looked up in wonder at the same moon, and wept when it was all done, for bein' done too soon.” Neil Diamond

Jim Crosby

James Barlow Crosby, 58, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully on August 16, 2005, of cancer. He leaves behind his wife, Pamela, daughters, Jamie Davis (Scott), Katie Barker (Dirk), granddaughters, Samantha, Kayla and Madison, and his pal Winston. 

Jim served in the U.S. Marine Corps representing his country during the Vietnam War. He worked in many professions; as a coalminer, a motion picture film distributor, a Salt Lake City Police Officer, a travel agent, and finalized his career as a licensed Clinical Social Worker. He attended Westminster College for his undergraduate degree and received his Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Utah. 

Jim would've liked to stay longer, but he understood that it was time to continue his spiritual journey. He reminds us, "Honor each moment of your life, and lovingly remember all those who have been part of it." 

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2005, 2 p.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary, 1950 E. 10600 S. Sandy, Utah.

The family wishes to extend their profound gratitude to the VA Hospital, Rocky Mountain Hospice, and to all the extraordinary members of his superb healthcare teams.
