Re: For those that knew him, RIP Jeff Crager
Yes, actually on his way to the swap meet on the 15th when he was in a crash late at night. They pronounced him dead at the hospital. Apparently his fiance' Kitty was driving, and I was told she has been in the hospital all this time since the accident. I have not seen any updates. Very tragic.Jerry VanOoteghem wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 2:20 pmHis obit says he passed away in Chickasha, OK. During the swap meet??

Jeff and I stayed in contact a lot, he even FaceTime me once while he was in the hospital. He was a straight shooter and said what he thought, I respected that about him. RIP my friend.

Jeff was one of the folks I enjoyed visiting with at Chickasha. I believe he was also a regular at Hershey. This was a guy who really knew his stuff, T and otherwise.

Re: For those that knew him, RIP Jeff Crager
Aw, once again crap. Jeff was one of the good ones, and losing our friends over and over....
I get it. Most of us are older, and we lose those who were our friends and mentors... but still, it doesn't make the pain any less.
I need to go out to the shop, and think on those of ours who are still here, and those who are not.
Please remember - some of us are loving and big hearted. Some of us come across as caustic (sometines
) ...
Yet ALL of us have stuff to pass on, and ALL of us would do so willingly.
Damn... Sorry... need to go spend time working on the old car and bike stuff. And Jeff, we'll see you around the bend!!!!

Re: For those that knew him, RIP Jeff Crager
Wow. Never knew him, but I hate to hear any of this nonetheless.
And especially prayers for his fiancé, she'll need all the strength she can get.
RIP Jeff.
