Tammy and her husband, Roland, did wonderful work providing a home for him in the final years of his life. He was the son of Frank and Jeanne (Smith) Crooker. He graduated from Milford High School in 1942 and worked on a wheat ranch in Florence, Montana prior to his enlistment in the U.S. Army. As a member of the 150th Combat Engineers he saw two years of action in the European Theatre which included many assault river crossings and the Battle of the Bulge. Wes was employed for most of his career as a plumber and oil burner technician. Many of those years were spent with Draper Fuel Company of Wilton as well as several years as owner of Crooker and Son with his son, Dennis. He was a devoted family man who spent a vast amount of his spare time watching his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren participating in youth sports. He was also a follower of professional sports, particularly Boston teams. He purchased land in Vermont in 1977 that became a family gathering place for several generations of his family. He will be remembered by friends and family alike for his simple tastes. He loved family gatherings, mowing his fields in Vermont, country music and the Red Sox and Celtics, in that order. He was able to continue his activities in Vermont in his later years traveling and staying at his son Martin’s cabin on the property well into his 90’s. He also spent many happy years following his time in the service at Sunset Lake in Greenfield, NH. Wes enjoyed taking part in the events as a member of Bent-Burke Post 10 in Wilton, NH. His numerous examples of kindness and determination will be remembered fondly by his family and friends for years to come.
