He lived in Wheaton, Ill., for many years where he was owner/operator of a tire distributorship. In 1980 the family moved to a small farm in Mountain Home, Ark., to provide a wholesome atmosphere for their children. Here they raised cattle, hogs, chickens and Beagles.
Today their five children live in Arkansas, Wisconsin and New York. The Crosons are proud grandparents of seven grandchildren.

Rich’s favorite hobby is golf and he is a member of Romeos Group, Friends of the Little Big Horn and the Marine Corps Association..

Building and Grounds
Even in a community of beautiful scenery and eye-catching architecture, the Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines stands out. The graceful lines of the church and stately pines surrounding the building beckon Kirk and community members to come inside and experience God's Grace. The building includes several meeting rooms, a music room, parlor and a handsome fellowship hall where after-church coffees, receptions, church suppers and other special events are held throughout the year. An important part of the Kirk's ministry is making this space available for Village community groups. The building is bustling with meetings, conferences and musical practices nearly every day of the week, year round. The Building and Grounds committee organizes this constant flow of activity and maintains the beauty and efficiency of the building and surrounding property.
