OBITUARY
 Donald
L. Abercrombie, age 77, went to be with our Lord Jesus on May 11, 2014
after a lengthy illness with lung cancer which metastasized to his
brain. He was born 1937 in his grandmother's house near Henderson,
Texas. Predeceased by his sister Carol Sue in 1940 (she died at birth),
father A.D. Abercrombie in 1942, step-father Edd Crow in 1991, brother
Bobby Abercrombie in 1993, and mother Mattie Holland Abercrombie Crow in
2005. Survived by his wife of 38 years, Lyn; sons Scot (Nancy) of
Denver, and Richard; daughters Nicole (Jake LaBarre) of Seattle, and
Holland (Bob Hammers); grandson Robbie Hammers; and brother Paul Crow
(Helen) of Pennsylvania.
Don was loved by all, including all babies, all sales clerks, and all
medical personnel! He was a proud member of the Theta Chi fraternity and
The Rotary Club of Dallas. He grew up in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas
(Winnetka Elem., Greiner JH, Sunset HS); attended UTA (then, Arlington
Jr College) and graduated from UNT (then, North Texas State College);
served in the Navy Reserves. His career was as an accountant for various
companies including TI, and Mostek; then with his brothers in the family
business, Crow Bros Heating and Air Conditioning; and finally as a CPA
in private practice.
In retirement he learned to paint, amassing a huge portfolio in various
media; and perfected his woodworking talents whittling amusing figurines
and, for his grandson, building various wooden vehicles.
