Dr Crochet rented his Grand Isle camp to me and my family in the 80's and we loved every bit of it. Especially the old photographs displayed throughout.

The times that our families spent together at the camp out of Dulac are some of the highlights of my life. Fishing, shrimping, nights under all those stars... I will think of him often, as I have in the past, with kindness, fondness and knowing that he now is at peace. Love ya Doc.
