Gloralyn and family:

On behalf of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service, I wish to extend my sincere condolences during this sad time.  Know that your police family stands by you and supports you, always.  

Chief Hugh Stevenson
And all members of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service


Our deepest sympathies to the Crozier family.  

Darwin/Dawna/Dan - thank you for sharing your father, he was always the calm, thoughtful, capable guy, whether it was baseball, Boy Scouts or whatever.  Our thoughts are with you.  

My deepest condolences to Gloralyn, Darwin , Donna Ruth, Dan, Karla and Christina and Greg on the loss of your wonderful husband, father and grandfather.  When I worked with Gloralyn I remember soft spoken Ralph calling everyday to talk to  "Mother" and many times surprising her with a box of chocolates.  They were wonderful role models for a young impressionable girl and like with my parents I witnessed kindness, gentleness, wisdom and love.

Condolences to the family & friends of Ralph Crozier. It is hard to use just a few words of reflection but one thing that always struck me was that when you spoke too him that he was a great listener and paused to process before providing a meaningful response. Few people have that skill, that when speaking to him, it seemed time stopped as his interest was focused only on you. This, I still try to emulate using him as my mentor but admittedly have not mastered . He always had a minute or three to talk and at the conclusion was a great smile from him. I can only imagine the great memories and experiences that his family & friends must have from over the years & I am sure these memories will be a comfort that will carry you through this difficult time.  
My next dram of Scotch will be a toast too him and some reflection.


Darwin, Dawna-Ruth, Dan and Karla I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing.  He was such a larger than life presence on Hussey street and I can still here his voice in my head when he wanted to tell me something " well Sam..."   Please give your mom and big hug from me.



Dan

It’s hard to find the words to express how saddened we were to learn of your dad’s passing.

Deb has always fondly remembered Ralph as “her boss” at the Police Service.  And, although we never really spoke about it, I have always believed that your dad’s influence and support ultimately led to my being hired by the Police Service, and to the career that I was able to have there.

Please know that we are thinking of you, your Mom, Darwin, Dawna Ruth, Karla and the entire Crozier clan during this most difficult time.

“Uncle” Ralph and our dad, Mike became friends when they first joined the Ontario Provincial Police in the 1950’s.  When we were kids, we’d overhear stories of their shenanigans as the adults talked late into the evening at the kitchen table.  Oh, what stories they’d tell.   We have many fond memories of visits with Ralph and his family.  He will always be our Uncle Ralph.  XO  

It is with great sadness that I hear of Uncle Ralph's passing as I have known him as that. We would have 3 Christmases each year as I was growing up. One in Schreiber  and then one in the Soo on Hussy st with the flying squire  rockey  I think  that was his name and then in Sudbury at my grandmother's house. And then most of the time would stop by in the Soo on our way back. He was and is a great man. Have a piece of pie Ralph for all of us. 

Gloralyn and Family:  Gary and I were saddened today to see that Ralph had passed away.  We both have many fond memories of Ralph both from on and off the job.  He was as down to earth as they come.  We had many chats about the farm and the folks down the line. I tried for many years to get him to give up those damn Belgians for a good horse...and I heard that he finally did but he would never tell  me!   
We are both sending our most sincere condolences to the entire family.  May your fond memories help you through this difficult time.

My sincerest condolences to all the Crozier family. So very sorry for your loss. Ralph was my commanding officer for several years, during my early days with the police department /service.
Always fair and always a true gentleman.
Sincerely,
Chris Kelly 

I can still see that forage cap tilted to the side, slightly askew on his head. That sheepish grin and wonderful words of wisdom. I loved working for him.  As down-to-earth as they get. RIP 'Staff'.

I had dealings with Ralph when I worked at the City and he worked for the City Police.  What a wonderful man he was!  I always enjoyed listening to his views, not just on the topics we met to discuss, but his views on life and society.  My condolences to the family.  He will be missed and he will be remembered.

My deepest condolences to the Crozier Family.  Mr. Crozier and my father, John Robins worked together with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Services.  My younger sister and I have fond memories or going to the farm on St Joseph Island to see his horses.  Mr. Crozier was a gentle, kind man and a good friend.  Roberta Robins-Beith

Our condolences to the Crozier family. You are in our thoughts.
Marcel and Cindy Delfgou
