Don was a pillar of a man. An absolute gentleman. Anyone could tell from 100 paces they were dealing with someone genuine.
Thank you for all the wonderful times and memories, brother.

Kim, Jessica and James,
Our sincerest condolences on the passing of Don. We’ve been thinking what to say about him and came to the conclusion that all that can be said is “Don was always Don”

It's been 11 days since you left us! 11 long and heartbroken days! Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you! You were my Big Brother for 64 years! My Big Brother who never called me by my name (Cindy) it was always Kid, Hi! Kid what are you up to? Hey Kid what's shaking? Are just a couple of ways you started a conversation! Once I asked why do you always call me kid? I am in my 60's no longer a kid! Your answer was "You will always be Kid to me!" Sometimes I would wish you wouldn't call me Kid, but today I would give anything for my phone to ring and I would hear your voice on the other end saying " Hey Kid what's shaking"
Love you with all my heart and miss you dearly!
Kid! (Cindy) XO

We were ALL Blessed to have Don in each of our lives. He cared about everyone and always made sure that he was there, when you needed his help. He always made you feel, like you mattered. He may be gone physically from our lives….but he’ll ALWAYS have a place, deep within our hearts! Don’t eat all the Strawberries and Whipped Cream, up there Buddy!!!

I remember one Christmas all of us got the same Christmas pajamas. Grandma Crocker dressed Don up as a girl for Halloween he made a nice looking girl he didn't like it and finally one Christmas we went to see Santa Claus at the Port Burwell school in the gym Don said that isn't Santa Claus that is my dad and it was his dad we all laughed. I miss you and always remember the good times we had as a family. Always love from Aunt Dale, Uncle Ted and Edmond2

Don was always the leader of the pack. Every ride we went on he made sure it was safe, scenic and worth every minute. There wasn’t a moment he wasn’t checking in to make sure not only myself but the kiddos were doing well. My fondest memories are of riding are with don and Kim. To the monumental tour to Quebec to the hot days touring to Dover. We will miss your gentle heart and your amazing sense of humour. Love you Don and Kim

Nothing was ever “undoable” to Don.
If he found something that interested him, he found a way to do it and do it well … he lived it.
He was able to do this because of his friendly, unassuming nature coupled with his “git-er-done” attitude.
He would go find out who was doing whatever it was that he wanted to do and surround himself with people who were doing it well and learn from them. And Don made a friend with each person that he learned from or taught something to or helped out.
If you needed a hand with something, you only had to look over your shoulder and Don would be there with a tool and conversation that would make the job easier.
Don would imbed himself in a culture, like pool, so much so, that if you met someone in a totally different setting and mentioned that you used to play pool, and found that they had as well … chances are that you both were friends of Don’s. It was like that with drag racing, hot-rods or motorcycles too … if you ran into someone who had those interests too, they were friends of Don’s.
Don had friends wherever he was because, if he sat long enough to have a tea, he would make an impression … with the wait staff, the cashier or the guy he asked “could I bother you for the ketchup, brother?”
I consider that a life pretty well lived … a hundred years long of friendships packed into sixty seven too-short years … well done MY FRIEND.
Kim, Jess and James … we’re so very sorry for the loss of Don.
We are definitely much better for having known him and all of you.

The first time I seen donny was at hustlers.he walked in the door and I said to my cousin roy look at the size of that yard ape. Roy said that's don Crocker. He walked over and roy introduced us from that minute on we were friends.his smile was contagious and he had a way of making you feel good just being around him. We played league together for years we rode together we shared our love for bikes and hot rods and pool .we worked together well I worked he napped lol.he could fall asleep while he talked to you.he loved Goin to cruise nights and shows with his bucket I think he was happiest when some kid my grandson included asked if they could sit in his car he would be right there to lift them in with a grin from wear to ear.you were a gentle giant my friend and we will miss you RIP big sexy till we meet again

Don was a character that was larger than life !
I first met “ Big Sexy “ years ago when he started coming out to the car club . Don left a first impression that you couldn’t forget , I loved the trademark overalls and the impromptu naps during our meetings .
A great friend, he will be missed by everyone at the London Auto Modifiers.
