The son of 2nd Lieutenant Alvah Crocker and Mary Jane Bigelow Crocker. His father died during the First World War. His mother remarried Norman Harrower in 1920.
Lieutenant Frederick G. Crocker died when his ship, the USS Ingraham, collided with an oil tanker on the night of August 22, 1942.
The Ingraham was guarding the Scotland bound convoy T-20 out of Halifax. After an erroneous report of an enemy submarine, convoy escorts maneuvered to locate the enemy in heavy fog. On the night of 22 August, as she was investigating a collision between the destroyer Buck and a merchant vessel, Ingraham collided with the oil tanker Chemung in heavy fog off the coast of Nova Scotia and Ingraham sank almost immediately. Depth charges on her stern exploded. Only 11 men survived the collision.
