Mr. Crenshaw was very proud of his service to our great country. Our “Buster” enjoyed duck hunting especially with his favorite dog, Dipper, fishing, and riding his motorcycle. He was also a graduate of Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, LA. He was a goofball and jokester and he loved MeTV and the Three Stooges.
