McBride Varsity Soccer 1968: Overall 12-8-3; C.A.C.: 3-2
Tim joined McBride's Varsity Soccer team when he transferred in his junior year. Tim is on the far left in the 3rd row. Yeah, that's Tim 'rubbing shoulders' with Coach Earl!
"It was sad to hear of the death of Tim. I knew he was sick but you still hold out hope for the best. I'm not sure but I think Tim transferred from the seminary junior year.He must have worked at Steak n Shake to get the knickname Curby. I do know why he had that ambition. Coach Earl Eilerman called the soccer team into the locker room. He spent a half hour telling us what delinquents we were and that no one thought of soccer players as athletes. Just a bunch of nicotine smoking boozers."
John Phillips, McBride HS '69
"When I think of "Curby" I think right away of his great snicker type of laugh when he would tell a story. Always fun to be around. Tim was a very popular guy in the North County circle of soccer friends. God Bless Tim and his family."
Don Freesmeier, McBride HS '69
"It breaks my heart to hear of the passing of another of our classmates. Although I have not seen many of them for 42 years, each of them still remains a special individual in our "Band of Brothers" from a wonderful McBride Class of 1969. (While) I did not have classes with many in our class. I can say proudly...that I did personally know and greet each of our 156 by name."
Bill Genova, McBride HS '69
"Our buddy Tim finally lost his fight with colon cancer. He was known as a long time North County Soccer Player and Coach."
Mark Demling, Long-time friend
Tim Will Be Remembered As A Family Man & A Friend To All
"Tim Crowe was the kind of man everyone should have the pleasure of knowing. He was a loyal friend, a hard worker, a good sport, an avid sports fanatic and one of the most selfless people the world will ever know. He put family first, always, and he would never turn his back on a friend. Tim worked to live and lived for family. He loved his wife of 36 years with all of his heart. He doted on his children and spent most of his life coaching, teaching or teasing them in some way. He was always there when you needed him, and he truly enjoyed life. He lived for being Pop. As a Grandpa, Tim showered Owen, Charlie, and Sophie with affection, candy, toys and most importantly time. His world seemed to revolve around their happiness. He was so excited to add another granddaughter to the mix with Hayleigh Jaymes who should be here in September, along with any and all future grandchildren. He will watch over them from Heaven, and his legacy will remain forever. We are all better for having known him, and he will never be forgotten. Memorial mass will be celebrated on July the 2nd at 10 AM on St. Sabina Catholic Church 1365 Harkee Dr. (Florissant). Memorial gathering will be held Friday July 1 from 5-9 PM at Shepard Funeral Chapel, Friday 5-9pm 9255 Natural Bridge Road (at I-170). The family requests that memorial contributions be made to St. John's Cardinal Kid's Cancer Center, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Gateway Area Chapter (1867 Lackland Hill Parkway, 63146), or St. Sabina "Love-in-Action" (1365 Harkee Dr. 63031)
