Danny: Sorry for the loss of your Father. Warm memories of shrimping in the creeks with him and Roy, then heading the shrimp with Your Mother, Diane and Dooley. Good Times.

Mr. Croghan was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. If there was an event for his son Danny, and then in later years, for his grandchildren Lauren and Danny, he and Mrs. Croghan were there cheering them on. Mr. Croghan lived a full life, very actively involved in the lives of two generations of Croghans. May the many memories of his presence throughout your lives comfort you all during this difficult time. We will have all of you in our prayers.

With Sympathy,
The Baldwin Family

Mr. Croghan loved his family and always bragged about them. I always had a vision of him when he talked about the Fighting Irish and his planning for a trip to South Bend to see "his team" take the field. Prayers for the Croghan family and their many friends.

Oh , the Croghan´s jewels are heartbroken that we have lost this gentle but No nonsense man ! He was part of our success in so many ways , he engraved when he could , but what I will always treasure were his visits after my mother past to check on us . I could always ask him for advice or to train a new engraver and he always wanted the best for us , we were blessed to have Dan Croghan!
