He was preceded in death by his parents George Washington Croker and Louise Croker, as well as two grandchildren, Mitchell Robert and Ross Joseph. Dr. Joe is survived by his wife Angie and their four children: daughter, Rosemary Croker; son, Armando Croker and his wife Mariela; daughter, Cindy Bassage and her husband Gordon; and son, Anthony Croker. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Brittney, Melanie, Cassandra, Kyle, Brody, Bryce, Jamie and Alexa as well as brothers Michael (Rose), Jim (Kim), Tim (Lynn), Steve and sister Mary Zehner (John). Dr. Joe was a practicing chiropractic physician for 42 years. He received his education from Merrimack College, University of Pittsburgh, Texas Chiropractic College and the Lincoln Chiropractic College. He was the founder of The Institute of Applied Hypnosis. In 1986, he was selected to be included in "Who's Who in International Medicine." His many accomplishments however, far exceeded his life as a physician. He was a published author for his poetry as well as numerous books. Ironically enough, one of his books was on cancer. He was given the difficult task of explaining to his granddaughter Melanie that her mom was battling cancer. The reality of having to deal with this task was the motivation that created "Helping he Child Understand Cancer." For his poetry works, he was included in the "Who's Who in American Poets" and an anthology of his work has been compiled and will be published in the near future. In his original hometown of Reading, he was the school board president and was able to personally hand a diploma to each of his four children upon graduation. He unselfishly gave of his time and served as the athletic physician for all of Hillsdale County School Systems. In his new hometown of Ft. Myers Beach, Fla., he was the Chairman of the Beach Chamber of Commerce in 1993. He continued to work closely with the Chamber for many years to follow. Dr. Joe will be deeply missed by his family, many friends, and his patients. He has touched the lives of so many and his legacy will live on. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to Hope Hospice, 9470 Health Park Circle, Ft. Myers, FL 33908. The phone number is (239) 482-4673. Memorial services will be held Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 10 a.m. at the above address. |
