Denton Winslow Crocker

Dear Carol, Randy and Candace,
Remembering the fun visits Betsy and I enjoyed with you and your parents at your home. Trust you and your loved ones are safe and healthy from the Covid pandemic. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you on the anniversary of your Dads passing.
Sincere best wishes,
Terry McGlashan

God bless you in this time of loss. You have an incredible family that I admire greatly. Please continue to enjoy those loved ones in your life.

Mrs. Crocker, My Phone friend. Thinking of you and family at this time. I hope to speak to you soon. Remember your 96th birthday March 8. I may call you then I hope we can talk . Gods blessing on you this day.

I recently watched the PBS documentary on the Vietnam war, in which your family and death of your son was featured. I was moved to tears and kept hoping that young Denton would make it home. Denton's story resonated with me as a veteran of Afghanistan who came to seriously question why we were there halfway through the deployment, and, like Denton, I was well read and a history buff. His story could've easily been mine. Condolences for your losses and thank you for sharing your story.

A Death in the family. I'm unexpectedly reminded.

Ours is the Sorrowing family.

I was so moved by your families story about your son, his morals and convictions during the difficult cold war period is inspiring. I've watched the episodes that included your reactions to your eldest son several times and am so inspired by him and moved/heartbroken by his death. The picture of him in his overalls/flannel as a small child brings me to tears. I feel so bad that someone like Dentin Jr. never got to make his mark on the civilian world. Thank you for sharing your story it has...

I too was so moved by your family's recollection of your beloved son Mogie who was killed in Vietnam. My deepest condolences on the loss of Mr. Crocker. May your family take comfort in knowing that the sacrifices made have touched many.
