Stanley L.
Crooks
Stanley L. Crooks, 89, Augusta, passed away on Monday, Feb. 6, 2006.
Services will be at 10 Saturday, Feb. 11, at First United Methodist
Viewing will be from 1 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10, with visitation with family greeting friends from 5 to 6 p.m., at Headley Funeral Chapel in Augusta.
Stanley Leroy Crooks rode into Kansas on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle in 1935.
He had left his parents, Leroy and Anna back in Ohio, where he was born, and was on his way to Arizona, looking for work.
He never made it. They offered him a job in Augusta at the Mobil Refinery when he stopped overnight to visit an Ohio friend.
Stanley enjoyed working for Mobil and riding Harleys in Kansas, but he had to trade his bike in for a coupe when he met Cletius Castor, and they married on April 20, 1941.
Their life together was interrupted by his military service in World War II, but blossomed upon his return
and they settled down on State Street where they raised their two girls, Carol Ann (1947 - 1992) and Cletius Kay.
Stanley retired after 40 years with Mobil in 1975, though he never retired from devoted service to the American Legion Post #189 in Augusta.
He lived in the house on State Street in Augusta until he passed away this past Monday after a short stay at the St. Francis hospital in Wichita.
Cletius preceded him in death in 1984.
Stanley’s daughter Cletius Kay, and her husband Alan Watson, make their home on the Big Blackfoot River in western Montana, and their children Jubal, Jessie and Shandi all live nearby in Missoula and Mill Town.
Ann Victoria (Vicki), Carol Ann’s gift to Stanley, resides in Wichita. Stanley also leaves wonderful evenings and morning phone calls behind with his close friend and companion for many years Dorotha Bogard of Augusta.
Arrangements are under the direction of Headley Funeral Chapel in Augusta.
Memorials may go to American Legion Post #189 in Augusta.
