[Oe List ...] Joe Crocker's Passing

[Richard Alton]

Dear Crocker Family, Joe was our Area Prior when Linda and I were the
Philadelphia House Priors. Was a massive move to do Town Meetings and Joe
was great at getting the most from the troop when all were needed on the
front lines. He made my life so much easier.

A great life lived.

Dick
