Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your father. Although I never met your dad I'm sure he was a great dad who also served his country well. I'm sure he was extremely proud of your accomplishments in life. Our condolences from everyone at RIA Connect.

"I never had the pleasure of meeting Bob but got to know him through many Saturday afternoon conversations with Rich. His willingness to not hesitat in expressing his view when he saw people doing something that just was not right--without any concern for his safety is--unfortunately-- very rare these days. He has left a moral legacy with Rich--- and his family--which is one of the greatest gifts a mortal could pass on." Bill Williamson (Mpls MN)

Even though I never had to chance to meet Mr. Crofford in person. Had the pleasure of talking to him on the phone when he called in to check on how his son's business was doing.
He was abosulte hoot to talk to, high energy, woderful spirit and loads of laughs. His phone calls will be missed

Although "Bob" Crofford and I never had the opportunity to become real close to each other, because of our locations in life, we were about as close as Brother-in-laws could be expected to be in reality. Bob was a person who could be respected and trusted to recall special occasions, and always treat you as his closest friend. He always treated a person as someone "very special". Always being full of "joy and respect" for his fellow man. "Rest in peace, my friend".

Bob was my first cousin. He was a faithful cousin calling me at least every two months for the past sixty years keeping up with family news and having great conversations. I will miss him a great deal. He was truly a great man who loved his family, his country, and his faith. Imelda Cooper S.C.

My mom was one of the "ladies of Arbourgate" and she adored Bob, as I did too. I know he will be missed by many.
