Obituary
LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - A lead singer for the Grammy Award-nominated Cajun band, the Hackberry Ramblers, died Tuesday. He was 77.
Drummer and last surviving band member Ben Sandmel said James "Glen" Croker, a lifelong resident of Lake Charles, had been in declining health for several years and that his family thought he had a heart attack.
Sandmel said Croker began playing with the band in 1959. The band's website said Croker's electric guitar helped evolve the band's string-band sound, by adding a "swaggering honky-tonk tinge" that included elements of the blues, R&B and rockabilly.
The band was founded in 1933 by fiddler Luderin Darbone and accordionist Edwin Duhon.
The group last performed in 2005 at LSU's Manship Theatre.
Their 1997 release "Deep Water" garnered a Grammy nomination in the best traditional/folk album category.

To the Croker Family, My heartfelt prayers continue to go out for all the families and friends of such an acclaimed and loved person. May the God of all comfort be with you as we await the promises of Isa 65:19 for everyone - "No more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or a cry of distress.

Croker Family,
We are sending our deepest sympathy during this time of grief and sorrow. Glen was very talented man during his time. When he wakes up to a new world where he won't be sick anymore. Revelation 21:3-4
Glen will be able to entertain us with his talent of playing the drums.
