He was born on Aug. 27, 1921, at Libby, to Francis and LaDessa Croucher. Frank attended Libby schools and those in the surrounding area. As a teenager and young adult, Frank moved around, working on farms and ranches throughout southern Idaho and eastern Montana. He developed a love for rolling farmland and for tending to business from horseback. Memories of those simpler days and wide open spaces were among his fondest. Frank served his country from 1942-1945 in the U.S. Navy as a member of the crew of the USS Rutledge that was torpedoed and sunk in the Mediterranean Sea in the North African theatre. Following the war he returned to Libby and married Joan Applegate in May 1946. They lived in several places in the county, as well as Idaho and Indiana, while Frank pursued a career in logging, milling and farming, until he and Joan settled permanently in Lincoln County in 1957. With their growing family they spent 10 memorable years living on the Kootenai River on the old Highway 37, between Rexford and Libby, making it a favorite stopping place for friends traveling between the two towns. On many weekends there would be a sizeable crowd with plenty of room for the kids to play and lots of coffee and home-cooked food. After being displaced by Libby Dam, the family moved downriver to Troy, where Frank worked in the logging industry for the next 15 years, retiring in 1983. A lifetime member of Post 1548 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Frank also belonged to the Libby Christian Church. Frank numbered his friends like the stars and will be well remembered by his family and friends for his kindness, sense of humor and his humility. Frank and Joan had seven children. He was preceded in death by their son Steve Croucher in 1991 and his sister Gladys Adams in 1994. Survivors include devoted wife Joan, Libby; brother Robert and his wife Dorothy, Kalispell; son Ed and his wife Chris of nomadic lifestyle; son Charlie and his wife Lois, Libby; son Bob and his wife Cheri, Troy; son Bret (Buster) and his wife Becky, Libby; daughter Lana and her husband Gary Managhan, Troy, and daughter Brenda Croucher, Missoula. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Services were conducted at 2 p.m. on Monday at the Libby Christian Church. Arrangements are under care of the Nelson & Vial Funeral Home.
