McCroskey Family,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about Bobby.
I have a lot of memories about
Poteau and the McCroskey family.
I remember that my Dad and your
Dad were good friends around the
courthouse. Our thoughts and
prayers are with you during this
difficult time.

I went to school with Bob. Together we served many years in the National Guard. He was a great friend. He never met a stranger and was always helpful when he saw the need.Bob will surely be missed by all who knew him. My family and I extend our prayers to the family during your times of sorrow.
