In Memory Of
John W. Croy
1926 - 2019
Soon after his marriage he attended a trade school and graduated with honors as a sheet metal mechanic; thus began a career in the HVAC world, excelling in sheet metal triangulation and fittings as well as installations of heating and air-conditioning systems. He was known in Denver as one of 5 brothers, who were "Croy Brothers Heating & Air-Conditioning Company." He was the youngest brother and all the others have preceded him in death.
John gave his heart to the Lord in 1976 and began to serve him in Song Evangelism with his wife in 1977. Betty was pianist and John was song leader and they sang duets together, serving in camp meetings and revivals for 22 years. They called this time of their lives their "Golden Years!"
After they had retired from that traveling John was stricken with Parkinson's disease from which he has suffered for 7 years. He went to be with the Lord peacefully at home in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, on April 17, at 8:44 p.m., surrounded by his loving family. Now he is free from pain and with the Lord, whom he loved!
His oldest son, John Wesley Croy II, preceded him in death in an accident at his work in February, 2002. He was 49 years of age. He was also preceded in death by his son-in-law, Charles Michael George, in February, 2013.
John leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, Betty; daughter, Judith Streeter and husband, Jerry; sons, James and wife, Kathy; and Jeffrey and wife, Ruth. His son, John's wife, Lucy, also survives.
