I am so sorry for the loss of such a loving and wonderful man. I taught Nikki at Goose Creek High School. It was so obvious how much he loved his daughters, Misty, Nikki, and Hannah and how much he loved Charlotte. I hope that you can find comfort in your happy memories so that they can help ease the pain. God bless your family.

It makes my heart heavy to hear of this awful tragedy. I met Cro years ago in the late 70's when he was a close friend of our neighbor. My husband and I have stayed in touch with him through the years. We have seen him in the stores around town and also at Blue and Gold. God Bless all of you. May God keep you in his arms and the angels surround you with their love.

I sure will miss that smile, your warm heart, silly sense of humor, your laugh and your presence at work. You always made time for listening, had a kind heart and a shoulder to lean on. You will be missed Cro as a friend and co-worker. And I know you will be watching over us until we meet again.
