Re: Important obituary that we may have missed
While losing someone like Jack (or anyone) is sad, it looks like he achieve a lot in his 98 years. What we Aussies call a "good innings".
Comfort to his family & friends.

Re: Important obituary that we may have missed
There are several obituaries online and in print. Someone in the family went all out to spread the word. But very little is said about Wen-Mac. His page at Dignity Memorial includes a 40 minute memorial video with only one photo of Mr. McCroskey next to an .049 size Wen Mac flying platform and a rather large “Pogo”. It would seem that the McCroskey family were more into large group photos and golf, than model airplanes and modeling in general. I would surmise that it was really more of just a money making venture to the McCroskey brothers than a passion as it was for Leroy Cox.
