EDGAR “BUB” CROSBY

MIDDLEBURY — Edgar “Bub” Crosby, 77, passed away Nov. 19, 2025, at Helen Porter Nursing Home, surrounded by his wife and daughter. Bub was born in Burlington, Vt., to Edgar and Glenna (Bump) Crosby Aug. 18, 1948. He grew up in Brandon and graduated from Otter Valley Union High School in 1966. He married Margaret “Meg” Ryan of Vergennes in 1974.

Bub proudly served in the U.S. Air Force from 1968-1972. After his military service he returned to Vergennes to run the family cattle business. In 1989 Bub and Meg opened Crosby’s Furniture Barn, which they successfully ran until their retirement in 2014. After retirement Bub was heavily involved at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post in Middlebury, serving as Quartermaster for many years. He was also a proud life member of the Bridport Fire Department.

Bub was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and a special friend to many. He would always go out of his way to help anyone in need, and he will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his wife, Meg of Middlebury; his daughter, Beth and her husband Greg Hathaway of Vergennes; his son, Dan of Vergennes; and his grandchildren Benjamin and Lucy Hathaway. He is also survived by his sisters, Eileen Gruen of Melbourne, Australia, and Adele Steele of Lawrenceville, Georgia.
