Son of Omer Vernon Crowder and Pauline Hope Comstock; Brother of G. E
Crowder, Norma Lee Capps and M. J
Farley. He had one son and 2 grandsons.
His mother's nickname for him was "Whisper." My nickname for him was "Cliffy" or "Ethel"
Clifford had been manager of several lumber yards including the Calhoun Lumber Yard in Wheaton, Missouri and Handy Man's in Neosho Missouri. He managed a few local baseball teams in his younger years as well as being on various teams himself.
Clifford had attended the wedding of his first cousin Shirley Parks to Wayne O'Neal in Aurora Missouri where Shirley and her parents were living at the time, and became smitten with a girl that was a friend of Shirley's by the name of Dorothy Henson. Dorothy had sung at Shirley's wedding. This occured October 16 1955.
On October 14, 1956, Clifford Vernon Crowder and Dorothy Sue Henson recited their wedding vows in Aurora Missouri and had many happy years together before Clifford's death in 2007.
Clifford was a prankster, he loved to laugh and pull a joke on any unsuspecting individual. He would call his family and friends, disguise his voice and get the biggest kick out of it. He loved to call our neighbor Larry Edens and his wife (they were great friends too) and he would ask Larry's wife in his disguised voice, "I was wanting to see if you had any cuckleburs for sale." She wouldn't know him at first and get flustered trying to figure out what the heck this man was talking about. Or Clifford would call my beauty shop, get a new girl on the phone and want to set up an appointment to get his toenails cut (we didn't do nails of any sort-especially not toenails!) or to order a pizza. We too would be sitting giggling as we listened to the new girl trying to explain, "But sir, we do not do nails" or "This is a beauty shop, not a pizza place."
Clifford surely was one of a kind after my grandfather, his father died. For Clifford was just like my grandfather.
The red hair on the baseball player's head blew in the gentle wind as he played ball with his brothers and father. He'd been playing ball with them for 11 years and had been enjoying fried chicken made by his mother. One day as another game was nearing the 7th inning, the red-haired ballplayer looked up to see a beautiful lady with dark hair entering in. His ball uniform faded away to become jeans and a tshirt. He knew her. He loved her and he had been waiting on her for over 11 years. He walked up to her and took both her hands in his. "I'm your husband, let me introduce you to JESUS."
Part 2:
As the reunited couple strolled down the streets of gold to meet Jesus, a little girl ran up to them and tugged on the beautiful lady's dress, "I'm so glad you made it! I'm your sister Shirley Jean; come on, let's hurry!!" The couple and little girl were then joined by a tall man and his wife, who was carrying a mincemeat pie. They each patted the "newcomer" on the arm and lovingly called her "Daughter." The five continued on down the golden street, their numbers increasing as they walked. There were two nephews, a niece and brother-in-law; another niece and a sister-in-law and a couple other brothers-in-law as well as a slew of cousins. Finally they stood before Jesus who held His arms outstretched, beckoning to the beautiful lady. "Welcome home, my good and faithful child, welcome home."
