  HERSHEY Raymond W. Croak passed away peacefully on August 8, 2012. He was born 
  in Lock Haven, on December 2, 1923, to Walter Laughlin and Mary Sabina Croak. 
  Raymond came to Hershey in 1929 when he entered the Hershey Industrial School. 
  He graduated from there in 1942. Upon finishing school he was employed by the 
  Hershey Lumber Company in the furniture making shop until he entered the U.S. 
  Navy in 1943. When Raymond returned from the Navy he continued to work for the 
  Hershey Lumber Company as a cabinet maker until it closed. He then was employed 
  and retired from Hershey Foods. Raymond was a member of the American Legion 
  Hershey Post 386 for 48 years, a life-time member of the Elstonville Sportsmans 
  Club, and an avid fisherman and hunter. Raymond, as a former member of the 
  Milton Hershey School Glee Club, had a great love for music. He also was an 
  avid reader and as his eyesight failed, he was able to continue this with books 
  on tape. One of his other favorite pastimes was talking with people, and he was 
  often engaged in telling jokes, stories, and "tall tales" to loved ones and 
  friends. Raymond is survived by his devoted wife, Theresa (Ortenzi) Croak; his 
  daughter, RaeAnn (William) MacIntyre; and his son, John (Sheila) Croak. He is 
  also survived by a grandson, William (Katie) MacIntyre; a granddaughter, Kelly 
  MacIntyre; and great-grandson, Peter Raymond MacIntyre. Visitation will be held 
  at the Hoover Funeral Home, Hershey, on Monday, August 13 at 10 a.m., followed 
  by a service at 11 a.m. Burial will be at Hershey Cemetery after the service. 
  In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Raymond's name to 
  the Tri-County Association for the Blind,  Harrisburg, Pa.
