Steve
Crosno Memorial Fund
My apologies for not
posting any
information sooner …
but as you can
imagine the news of
Steve Crosno’s death
left most of us in a
state of shock and
numbness. By now
most of you have
seen the outpouring
of eloquent comments
that are being
posted hourly at
http://www.stevecrosno.com/,
http://www.crosnoblog.com/
and a beautiful
tribute graphic page
can also be seen at

Let me begin by
saying that I have
been deluged with
phone calls and
email from friends,
acquaintances, and
strangers from all
over the world and
the country
inquiring about
funeral services for
Steve. At his own
request, Steve will
be cremated.
I am proud to say
Steve was one of my
oldest and most
cherished friends.
For this reason, the
Crosno family has
chosen me to
organize and pay
proper spiritual
tribute to an
individual who was
so important to the
heritage of our
community.
I say ‘thank you’ to
those who have
offered heartfelt
condolences and
offers to help in
any way. However for
now, at the request
of the Crosno
family, the plans
are for a simple,
dignified and
elegant spiritual
service.
I said “simple,” but
how could anyone
ever be prepared to
organize a simple
event to pay homage
to a giant such as
Steve Crosno? I must
first secure the
suitable facility
for the thousands of
mourners that will
surely want to
attend. That issue
is already being
addressed. I can
only speculate that
Steve Crosno’s
spiritual service
will be announced in
the next 5 to 10
days. All media will
be notified.
In the meantime, for
those of you who
couldn’t help Steve
in the final years
of his life, your
contributions will
be appreciated to
help defray the
costs of the myriad
of expenses left
behind. As many of
you know Steve was
challenged not only
medically but
financially. Your
money will also help
cover the costs of
cataloging,
archiving, & storing
his treasure of
personal
possessions. Any
remaining funds may
be utilized for the
formation of a
future Steve Crosno
Foundation at a
future date.

Thank you for the
immediate internet
response that has
brought so much
comfort to the
Crosno family at
this difficult time.
Again, the public
memorial is pending,
so we ask Steve’s
friends in El
Paso/Las Cruces, the
U.S. and all over
the world to be
patient while we
prepare a suitable
tribute.
