IN MEMORY OF DR. PAT CROSKERY

Pat was a Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Honors Program at Ohio Northern University from 1999. He was an active member of the Ohio Philosophical Association for almost two decades and served as an officer of the OPA for six years: Secretary-Treasurer from 2007–09; Vice President and Program Chair from 2009–11; and President from 2011–13. He is survived by his wife, Maria, and their three children, Skyelar, Vance and Tierra. His passing represents a great loss to the Ohio philosophical community.
