I took a course with Dr. Crouch my second year at Georgia Southern. I turned in a paper and received a B+, which I thought was pretty good. Later he called me into his office, looked at the paper and said 'you can do better than this.' It was the first time a teacher had ever pushed me to excel. To this day, over ten years later, I credit Dr. Crouch with my academic success. The man could tell a great story. His passion was infectious. I'm embarrassed to say that I am just now hearing about his passing. He was the best teacher I ever had; and a very nice guy.

Stephanie and Carolineand Stephen, Kerri Sellman let me know about Charlie's passing a while back. I just ran across Caroline on Facebook. Just wanted to let you know how sorry I am, and let you know what a great memory I have of getting to teach Caroline violin my first year of teaching. Fifteen years later, it's still families like yours that make me excited to start my teaching day!

Mr. Crouch was a History professor of mine at St. John's University in Collegeville MN in 1992-1993. He brought history to life and I will never forget the passion and dedication he had for the subject and his students. Rest in peace, my friend. I owe you one.
