The son of Henry Logan and Sally Lorene (Brassfield) Croff was born Jan. 29, 1949, in Claremore. Carl attended elementary at Sequoyah then transferred to Claremore schools, graduating from Claremore High School in 1967. He went on to serve in the U.S. Air Force. Carl met Deanna Garrison through mutual friends on a blind date in 1967. They were married on June 21, 1969, while Carl was home on leave from the Air Force prior to his reporting to duty in Japan. After Carl was discharged they made their home in Claremore. In 1973, this union was blessed with their first and only child, a daughter, Twyla. Through the years, he and his daughter relished their time together at sporting events and taking road trips. Carl worked in manufacturing spending his last 20 years working for Nupar in inventory control. Carl was a member of Mid-America Christian Center. His most beloved pastime was fishing, especially with friends and future son-in-law, followed closely by reading and studying his Bible. He also enjoyed gardening, spending time with his family, and his dogs.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents and his father and mother-in-law, Goldie and Eva Garrison.

Carl is survived by his wife, Deanna of the home; daughter, Twyla Croff of Claremore and fiancé, George Lamberson, IV of Oologah; and sister, Jeanie Nees of Claremore.
