WILLIAM CROSSLEY, 69, of Hedley Avenue, a retired electrician, died yesterday at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, North Providence.
Born in Providence, he was a son of the late Cedric and Bernadette O. (Bourbonnais) Crossley. He was a lifelong resident of Johnston.
Mr. Crossley retired in l990 after 37 years as an electrician. He was a member of Local 99, IBEW.
He was also an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous.
In retirement, Mr. Crossley found pleasure doing intricate puzzles and building dollhouses for family members. A large man with burly hands, he would create miniature pieces of furniture, wall hangings, towel racks, curtain rods, and other items for the dollhouses. He would then wire them so the lamps would light up and the doorbells would ring.
He is survived by two sons, two daughters, three sisters, a brother and three granddaughters.
He was the brother of the late Richard L. and Cedric C. Crossley.
