James Thomas Crocker, 91, passed away on May 8, 2024. He was at home, his favorite place, surrounded by his loving family. Jim is survived by his beloved wife of seventy-one years, Marjorie H. Crocker. They were life time companions, who met in first grade, and never parted. Jim was predeceased by his cherished daughter, Kathleen Crocker Thompson, his dear brother, Richard Crocker, and his son-in-law, Daniel Jones, Jr. He was the loving father of Deborah (Kevin McCoy) Jones, Kathleen (Craig)Thompson, and Cynthia (Gary) Kogowski.  He was an adored Papa to Daniel, Kathryn, Rebecca (Travis), Gregory, and Amanda (Tony). He had the joy of recently becoming a great grandpa to little Lucas, who brought him countless smiles. Jim is also survived by his adoring sister, Gay (Ken) Zelasko. Jim was proud to serve in the U.S. Navy, and he was a dedicated Ford Motor Company professional for the majority of his career. He loved tennis and hiking, and any time spent with his grandchildren. Many happy hours were spent fishing and watching sunsets at the lake with his wife. The heart of Jim's life was his family and his essence was kindness to all he met. He will be dearly missed by his friends and family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Angela Hospice Angela Hospice or The American Cancer Society American Cancer Society .
