Born January 22nd 1956 in Heart’s Delight, Newfoundland, He was one of many blessings to his parents Arthur & Harriet Crocker. Art was the 7th born of 11 children and the oldest son. As a quiet unassuming person, Arthur garnered the hearts of all he met. Arthur was an avid dart player, where he became one of the best dart players in Newfoundland winning many championships. He truly enjoyed spending time outside fishing and hunting with many family members and friends. He loved to reminisce in his later years about the wonderful life he lived. He was plagued with COPD, despite that he worked and cared for his extended family who loved him dearly. In 2011, Arthur reconnected with his teenage sweetheart, Beverley. Shortly thereafter he relocated to Macklin, Saskatchewan to rekindle their love. They were married in 2013, and Beverley was blessed to love and care for him until his untimely passing.
