James R. Crough
March 15, 1935 — November 16, 2020
Jim Crough loved basketball all his life. He played as a youngster while growing up in Syracuse and in high school and college and at gyms into his 60's. He had a knack for being able to easily recite statistics for so many NBA players and teams. It came naturally and he was a trusted source for anything basketball related.
He also had a passion for fishing. He found comfort and relaxation along the waters trying to catch largemouth bass, trout and ventured to deep sea fishing as well. The fisherman's prayer reads: 'I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray: When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep That in His mercy I be judged big enough to keep.'
Jim died on Monday, November 16, 2020 in Care Dimensions Hospice Residence in Lincoln. He was 85.
