Those of you who knew Carl Crosier knew that he planned out everything, including his funeral services, to the last detail. He chose the music, contracted the singers, spoke with the clergy, and instructed us on all his wishes — even on what he was to wear. Unfortunately, he didn’t prepare a spreadsheet, as was his custom for all major musical events. You might remember his quote: I don’t know how Bach did all this without a spreadsheet!
