Curt Crossley

The primary school director at the American School of Pachuca, Curt Crossley, passed away on Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Curt was also the recruiting coordinator for the foreign staff at our school and he was one of the main reasons why I felt so confident taking this job in January. Curt had been sick for about 3 weeks prior to his this. The news of his death came as somewhat of a shock, however, considering that the staff had been continually reassured of his return. Although I did not know Curt for a very long time, I considered him a friendly and competent boss and a good leader for the school. He was aware of the problems that we faced and did his best to accommodate teachers, students, and parents. It is a tremendous loss for the school and for his friends. The heap of legal boundaries and inability to contact his family has also been stressful for the administration and staff at school. I hope that these issues will be resolved in a timely matter so that a memorial service can be held and people can pay their respects.

  1. The family is seeking more information and would very much like to hear from you or anyone. I've used the school directory to find who I think you might be, and have e-mailed that address, but if you could PLEASE e-mail me @ lindsey.freer@gmail.com (I'm Curt's cousin) it would be be deeply appreciated. Curt's father doesn't have a computer, and we are trying to relay information to him.

  2. Thank you for the information. I've been trying to find some things out and did by contacting the person who left you the other comment. Curt was my second cousin. Getting accurate information from immediate family members has not been easy.
