Son of Jesse Crooks and Lena E. Kackler OBITUARY THE CHARITON HERALD-PATRIOT Chariton, Iowa Thursday, June 27, 1985 CROOKS Gerald Dwight (Bud) Crooks was born Sept. 3, 1915 in Lucas County, Iowa to Jesse and Lena Kackler Crooks. He departed from his life June 11, 1985 at his farm where he chose to be, at the age of 69 years. He had recently spent two weeks in the Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. He spent all his life in Lucas County on a farm near Norwood, later moving to Chariton in 1953. He was united in marriage to Georgia Allen on Aug. 8, 1936 in Indianola, Iowa. Two sons were born to this union, Ken Dee and Keith Laverne. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Wilma Bales; son, Keith who lived only five days; also a grandson, Ronald Keith who died in infancy. Survivors include his wife Georgia of Chariton; son Ken and wife Marcia of Corydon; five grandchildren, Julia Savage and husband Steve of Chariton, Deborah of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ken Dee Jr. also of New Mexico, Kerri and Chisholm of Corydon; two great-grandchildren, Justin and Jessica Savage of Chariton. He is also survived by one sister, Carolyn Whitler and husband Don of Chariton; brother-in-law Pearl Bales of Des Moines; his mother-in-law, Eva Allen; and many other relatives and a host of friends. He received Christ as his personal Savior in 1943 and later joined the Christian Union Church in Chariton. He farmed, trucked and sheared sheep when he lived in Norwood, moving to Chariton in 1953, due to the loss of his home by fire. He was then employed by Chariton Lumber, then operated a ready-mix plant for them in Corydon. In 1969 he purchased concrete basement forms, pouring basement walls in Lucas and Wayne counties. He retired in 1978, but continued to work or help out as he enjoyed being outside and keeping busy. To know him was to know a friend who dealt only in kindness and consideration of others. He will be missed so much by all who knew him. Memorial services were held Thursday, June 19, at 1:30 p.m. at the Mosher Funeral Home. Rev. Pearl Sams and Rev. Jake Garbison conducted the service. He was laid to rest in the Norwood Cemetery. Pallbearers were Lane Goad, Kenneth Anderson, Gary Courter, Joe Levis, Terry McMurry and Maurice Skinner. Obituary courtesy of Charles M. Wright
