Tom Crowe, a former Willis ISD superintendent and educator, died Dec. 31 at 75.
“Tom’s passions were strong and his commitment to education was unwavering. You would hear him say often, ‘Kids don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care,’ and this truly sums up the man and person he became and continued to be,” his family said in his obituary.
The history
Crowe was born in 1950 in Lafayette, Indiana, where he grew up living on a pig and cattle farm with his parents and four brothers, according to his obituary. His career began in education in 1972 as a teacher and coach.
