      Eugene "Gene" E. McCroskey

      Eugene "Gene" E. McCroskey, 90, died Monday, Oct. 2, 2006, in Stillwater Medical Center. Graveside services are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Friday in Sunset Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Strode Funeral Home. Strode Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

      He was born April 1, 1916, in Milner, Colo., to George Eden and Gertrude Josephine McCroskey and graduated from Fredonia, Kan., High School in 1934. He married Isabell Tinker April 17, 1938, in Fredonia.

      He served in the U.S. Army from February 1943 to November 1945 in the 11th Air Borne Division in the Pacific Theater, achieving the rank of sergeant. He attended Oklahoma A & M College for two years, receiving an associate degree. In August 1948, he went to work for Oklahoma A & M College as a lab technician manager in the chemical engineering department, working there for 37 years.

      A member of the Stillwater Lodge 14 IOOF, he was also an avid reader and OSU fan. He loved to cook. He was involved in Scouting and at one time served as the district commissioner. He enjoyed the outdoors and especially liked to be wading in a pond with a fishing pole in hand and a stringer at this side, or sitting in a blind waiting for ducks to fly over so he could take home the evening meal.

      He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Josephine Feighner and Eileen Robertson; one brother, Harold McCroskey; one infant son, David, who died at childbirth and one special son, Ronald Simpson.

      (Donna Forney Clark: SURVIVORS' NAMES ARE OMITTED.)

      In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorials may be made in his name to the charity of choice.
