Capt. William “Billy” E. Crooker, Iii

Capt. William “Billy” E. Crooker, III, 48, died unexpectedly in Hampton, VA July 7, 2013.

Billy was born, raised, and educated in Boston, MA but moved to Hampton, VA 15 years ago to continue his career, and more importantly, his love of flying. William was a pilot with Atlas Air for 14 years. He was a member of AOPA, Quiet Birdman (holding a prestigious title), the International Cessna 195 Club, the Military Aviation Museum, and the Hampton Yacht Club. Billy will be remembered for his charismatic attitude and willingness to help anyone. Although he loved his life and flying, his true passion was spending time with his family.

Beloved husband of Stacey L. Crooker, devoted father of William E. Crooker IV and Rachel Rose Crooker. Loving son of William E. Crooker II and Barbara G. Linn, Brother to Nayda B. Orsini. Billy is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
