Grosse Pointe family continues longtime crossing guard’s tradition of service

To guide a child safely across a street was something Dick Krausmann did lovingly for 51 years. He would stop what he was doing, wherever he was doing it, and head towards Maire Elementary School in Grosse Pointe with his vest and stop signs and cross children safely.

The many children on Cadieux Road didn’t even know him as Mr. Krausmann; he was Mr. Cross-man.
