F. Bosley Crowther III ’56

Bos died Oct. 17, 2022, in Charlottesville, Va. He was born July 21, 1935, in New York City to Florence and Bosley ’28. He was raised in White Plains, N.Y., alongside brothers John and Jeff.

Bos’ education included Woodberry Forest School, Princeton, Columbia law school, and New York University business school.

At Princeton, Bos met the two loves of his life: first wife Barbara Miller, whom he married in 1960; and second wife Margery “Gerry” Clifford, whom he married in 1999 after Barb’s death.

Bos’ career began with LeBouef, Lamb in New York. In 1970, he went to Washington, D.C., as head legal counsel for the American Gas Association. In 1974, he started a farming business, Agriprises, and the family moved to Troy, Va., in the summer of 1976 to manage the enterprise.

In the early 1980s Bos returned to the law as a sole practitioner. His proudest achievement came in the early 1990s, earning a multi-million-dollar settlement in a federal class action against CCM&SM for fraudulent sales practices at Lake Monticello in Fluvanna County.

Bos is survived by his wife, Gerry; children Barbie and Boz ’88; and grandchildren Leah, Welles, and Phoebe.
