Dear Jo and TJ Sorry for your loss.

I was privileged to have Mr. Crocker not only as my friend, but also as my instructor while attending Bladen CC.
Joe remember the time you came and gave us our assignments.

Bruce Crocker has been a colleague and friend for over a decade primarily through our association with the state community college Faculty Association. His advice and support during my service with the association was invaluable and his friendship and loyalty meant more to me than I could adequately express through a simple "Thank You" but my thanks was heart felt.

I will miss him and I honor his service to the Association, Bladen CC, and his community. All my love to his family.

With love,
Cliff Mitchell
Past President, NCCCFA

I was privileged to know Bruce as a colleague in the NCCCFA - state faculty association. He was a founder and long-time treasurer. His passion for excellence in teaching and professionalism was inspiring and contagious. His legacy of learning will be remembered, and he will be greatly missed. May these memories bring you comfort.
