I was Blessed to have Dr. Crouch as one of my instructors at LCU while working on my masters.  His knowledge of the Greek was amazing.  Dr. Crouch remained my Brother in Christ and Friend after I received my masters in 1994.  Since my graduation, I continued to contact  him when I was wrestling with the Greek text. I was attempting to contact Dr. Crouch for some scholarly help and found this obituary.   God Bless Dr. Crouch and I Pray his family has found comfort since his passing. 
AGAPE,
Mark Whitmire

Dr. Crouch was a very godly man. He was a mentor to my fellow preaching students and me at LCC.
He is one of my fathers in the faith of Christ Jesus.

I send you my deepest sympathy. I remember all of the times at grandma and grandpas. We always came together for a great meal and hours of conversation. Leon will dearly be missed and I send my love.

A true gentleman and scholar. I was blessed to have known him.

My Dad’s baby brother passed away this week. All but one sibling has gone home.
I have great memories of the Crouch gatherings, mostly at my Grandparents home in Sherman; although we did visit each others homes at times.
The siblings were very close and were great jokesters. They were a German descended family and gatherings always centered around big meals, full bellies and long conversation.
Not much hugging with the Crouch’s, but warm handshakes and greetings
Leon was the most studied of the bunch and was a long time Lubbock resident where the community will miss him greatly.
Cathy Akin, Jimmy Crouch, Charles Crouch and Eddie Crouch I am so sorry for your loss but we all know this is what he had prepared for his whole life.
He’s gone home to be with your Mom.
You guys may not remember but I will never forget the letter you sent me from England. I had it in my keepsakes till it just fell apart.
Anyway my memory this morning is centered in the past and remembering the feeling of love and commodity I experienced with the Crouch’s. 
Leon and Peggy were a big part of that.
And they live, right here in my memory....

A poignant evening, after learning of this news. More than any other faculty member, Dr. Leon Crouch mentored me through 4 years of Greek, numerous conversations about ministry and scholarship, and -- much later -- the vocation of teaching and learning. He was my teacher, my mentor, my colleage, and a true friend. Dr. Crouch knew of my missionary goals, so he arranged for me to intern a summer in Liverpool, where he had served before. He always encouraged, and his was the chief voice that led me to graduate school. In those undergraduate years and later as a junior colleague, I never found his office door closed, nor him too busy to stop everything, turn from his studies, and look and listen as we talked. Especially as a young colleague, I did sometimes take different views regarding theological interpretations, but he never failed to encourage. Dr. Crouch was a quiet and godly man, and very humble. Few knew about his horrendous days and nights in frigid Korean trenches, with bullets whizzing around; he lost his toes in that cold. I have never known a faculty member who was more generous, hospitable, and devoted to his faith and scholarship. Well done, sir.  To the family:  Unfortunately I have to be out of town during the reception and funeral; I deeply regret this.  Blessings and peace to you all.
