George Crocker
Crocker, George Lloyd- It is with heavy hearts, we announce
the loss of our loving husband, father, grandfather and friend George
Lloyd Crocker who passed away peacefully in the Palliative Care Unit
at the Aberdeen Hospital, surrounded by his family after a long battle
with Heart Disease and Cancer.
Born in St. John’s,Nfld on July 25, 1942, he was a
son of the late Greta (Max) Lawrence and Gordon Lloyd
Crocker.
George was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the
Newfoundland Constabulary. In 2001 he retired from the Trenton Police
Department with over 25 years of service. After retirement, he worked
part-time with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires and could
regularly be found at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
With his faith in the Lord, he was an active member of the
church, and enjoyed singing gospel music with others. Never idle,
George always found ways to keep himself busy. He enjoyed woodworking,
carpentry and many other home improvement projects. George was always
ready to share one of his stories (all of them true!) with anyone
willing to listen. Most of all, he loved the outdoors and was happiest
when he found himself out hunting and
fishing.
George is survived by his wife Joan Crocker (MacIver) of 44
years, sons Christopher (Maggie), Brent (Cindy), Aaron
(Annie) and Gavin (Stephanie), daughter Debbie (Blair), grandchildren
Zoe, Corey, Crystal, Brandon and his very special Alexis. Brother Jim
(Barb) Lawrence, chosen sister Pauline Skanes, sisters-in-law Ruth Ann
and Joyce, several nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by his mother, father and
stepfather.
Special thanks to all his doctors – Rowicka, Couban, Styles,
nurses at the Heart Function Clinic at the QEII. Also, the Chemo
Department at the Aberdeen Hospital, as well as, Dr. Kwasnick and the
compassionate and caring team in the palliative care unit at the
Aberdeen Hospital. The family would also like to extend a heartfelt
thank you to all our friends near and far for all of their support and
help during this time.
Cremation has taken place. No visitation at his request. A
memorial service will be held 2pm Tuesday at the First Presbyterian
Church, Hopewell with Rev. Bonnie Langille presiding. A reception will
follow in the church hall. There will be a private family
burial at the Riverton Cemetery
