As Sonny's only sister,Sandra, I want to thank everyone for their support and kind words during this most difficult time. The number of people who came to say their last goodbye to Sonny and to share in all the wonderful memories helped get us through those initial days of pain. The Crocker family wishes to express their gratitude to each and everyone. Though he may no longer be walking by our side, he is and will remain in our hearts for ever. We love you Sonny and miss you every day. Someday we will be together again, until then enjoy the most beautiful and peaceful journey you will ever have.

There are no words to ease the pain,

but in our memory you'll forever remain....

Your loving sister, Sandra

To Kimmie and Chris Crocker:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need.

Remember the happy times you had to share with your dad and they will help you through the ruff times.

I know how much you loved your dad and he loved the both of you. He was a very special and caring person.

So as you walk through life without him remember he is always walking with you, in your hearts and minds so make him proud of the both of you.

Take care and you know where to find us.

To Mom and Dad Crocker:

Our thoughts are with both of you and the rest of the family.

I can remember seeing Sonny walk down the street to Bruce and Tami's and Bill and I looking and saying there goes Sonny. It just seems strange not to see him doing that anymore and not seeing him at all.

He was a very special person to those who knew him well and to those who did not know him that well he always made sure that they knew his name so when they met again they were friends.

I can't think of anyone that loved to fish as much as he did, other then Bruce and how enjoyed going with him.

If there is anything at all we can do, PLease let us know.

WE Love Ya!!! Laura,Bill&Samantha

Sonny was a very special man, in all ways. He had what it took to raise a family and make great friends. He will be missed by those who knew him. But remember, we'll see him again. There IS a better place waiting for ALL of us, and we WILL all be together again one day.

Say "HI" to Jeff for us Sonny. We shall walk hand-in-hand in the land of milk & honey.

My love to all, His wife, LindaMae

Sonny crocker was a wonderful and caring person and will be greatly missed by everyone he has touched in his life time. The last time I spoke to Sonny he told me he was on a spiritual journey, now his journey on earth has ended and his journey in heaven has begun. He is in better place now and our lord is with him.
