Billy Randy Crocker, age 78, drove his last trip on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 which led him to the Pearly Gates of Heaven. His enormous heart, his laughter, and jokes will be significantly missed by many. Being a life long resident of Cleveland County born on May 4, 1941, he was one of the seven sons of the late James B. Crocker and Myrtle Harris Crocker. Going by the handle "Daffy Duck", Bill worked as a truck driver for Carolina Freight for many years and later retired from Holland in 2009. Bill drove well over three million miles over his 32 years of service and received many safety awards and accolades from Raleigh. After retirement, so as not to drive Barbara crazy, he drove for many car dealerships in Shelby. In addition to delivering vehicles, he delivered flowers for a while. Always with a joke, he informed the customers the he was the "blooming idiot" for Briarpatch Greenhouse.

In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his beautiful wife of more than forty years Barbara T. Crocker, six brothers; J.B. Tommy, Carl, David, Bobby, and Bubby and one sister, Mary, one son Ronnie D. Crocker and a special brother-in-law Joe B. Porter

To memorialize his life he leaves behind his daughter Sharon Crocker of Shelby, and one sister Martha C. Porter, one granddaughter Faron Y. Muskelly and husband Tony, three grandsons Landon Crocker, Joshua Crocker and Jake Crocker as well as one great-granddaughter, Indigo R. Muskelly, also left behind to cherish his memory is his "sweetheart" Deloris Austin, sisters-in-law Joan Gettys and husband Flay, Doris Williamson and husband Richard as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
