Crooks, Daniel R. Died Friday, May 4, 2007 at the age of 69 surrounded by loved ones. Dan is survived by his daughters Julie Gibeault (Glenn) and Amy Jenkins (Paul); sisters Connie Falk, Janice Conway, "Patsy" Krause; grandchildren Sally Kranski (John), Justin Gibeault (Nicole), Colleen Forque (Frank) and Dylan Jenkins. Dan grew up in Manitowoc and moved to Madison where he graduated from high school. He served in the 32nd Red Arrow Division of the U.S. Army in the early '60s. He married Beth and raised a family in Milwaukee. He's known to many from his years as a Postal Clerk in the Milwaukee main office, offsite Postal centers, and the Wauwatosa station. He retired in the late '90s after over 35 years of service. Always on the go, he continued to work part time for Bonded Messanger. If you knew Dan, he likely fixed something for you, drove you somewhere, or lent or gave you money. He was always generous with his time, skills, and assets. His family asks that memorials be given in this spirit: Do something helpful for someone else. The family would be comforted by knowing what you have done in his name.
