I wrote you a farewell letter, little did I know that you were already gone. I guess that fit the Jack Croughan that I came to know over the 8+ years I knew you as a patient, fellow physician & friend. I will miss you dearly. My prayers & condolences to your family. Thank you for the privilege of having known you.

We are saddened to learn of Jack's passing. He was a true gentleman, a gracious man with wisdom and heart. We were privileged to have worked with him and were grateful for his guidance. He will leave a place in all of our lives, and in the lives of those who came to him for care. May God be with his loving family now and in the days ahead. Truly a life well lived!!

I did not really have a father, he was closest thing I ever had and he saved me and I trusted him. I pray he was not in any pain. He was one of those people who should have lived forever as he will in my prayers. Jackie Anderson

He was such a terrific man, physician, husband and father.
You brought him joy, and he shared that joy with others.

Dr. Croughan was a physician for the Valley Hope Association's St. Louis outpatient office. He was a wonderful and caring man who willingly shared his experience and knowledge with our staff. We will miss him very much but feel blessed to have been able to work with him and learn from his wisdom.

I never really had a chance to get to know my cousin Jack until much later in life- my older siblings knew him much better than I did. When I finally had a chance to spend some time with him, I realized what a great guy he was...so intelligent, thoughtful, and the fabulous Croughan sense of humor. And- he had the same first name as my dad...and that means a lot. He will be missed, and the world was a better place because of him.

Dr. Croughan was my collaborating physician. He was a brilliant man! I mean absolutely BIRLLIANT!! His guidance and experiences broadened by knowledge in mental health and for that I will be forever greatful. He was so down to earth, easy to talk to, and always made time for me no matter what. He was always willing to teach me. The knowledge I have gained from him is invaluable. I cannot explain the gratitude I will always have for him. I am deeply saddened by his loss. I will miss him terribly. God bless his entire family.

I am so saddened to hear of Dr. Croughan's passing. I had the privilege of referring people to, and collaborating with, Dr.Croughan for 20 years in my career as a chemical dependency counselor. He was my very favorite psychiatrist in St. Louis. He understood addiction and helped so many, many people who struggled with both addiction and depression. He was a warm, compassionate and gifted man and I will miss him terribly. I send my deepest sympathy to Dr. Croughan's family, colleagues and friends.
