Crooks
Sheridan "Russ" Crooks passed away Oct. 15, 2004, at his home in Mogadore.
He was born in Telluride, Colo., 88 years ago. He was educated at the Univer sity of Colorado and M.I.T. During World War II, he served as radar officer on a submarine, one of a group called "Hell Cats of the Sea." After the war he worked as a chemical engineer, metallurgist, and teacher. An avid reader, he could answer questions on most any subject. Russ found joy in music, particularly Mozart and Bach. He was an extremely caring and charitable man, and will be missed by many.

Dear Duncan & Collette:
So sorry to hear about the death of your father. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I came for a visit years ago when Duncan & Maggie were first married. Your father was very hospitable and charming. May God bless and comfort you and your families at this time.
Blessings, your sister-in-law,
Fran

We have never met but Russ was a
fellow submariner and as such was
and forever will be an honored
"shipmate".
Someday he and I will meet while
on Eternal Patrol and may God look
favorably on us all.
My condolences to his family.
