Funeral services for Mr. Preston Crnkovic will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at the Chapel of Cox Funeral Home of Bastrop with the Rev. Phillip McCready officiating. Interment with military honors will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, February 9 at the funeral home.

Preston Crnkovic was born May 14, 1931 in West Carroll Parish to the union of the late Angel Crnkovic and Fannie Gunter Crnkovic. He died Sunday, February 7, 2010 surrounded by his family at his home in Bastrop.

Preston was a unique person in many ways, very practical, with a dry sense of humor. God had blessed him with many talents along with the knowledge and skillfulness to use them during his lifetime. He was talented in farming, carpentry, welding, electrical, and plumbing. He was mechanically inclined to fix many things. He always tried to be organized before starting a project. His motto was "Count the cost before you start and do it right to start with. Make it low maintenance."

Some friends would call him a "perfectionist" but he was always neat in his job performance. A loyal company man, Preston retired from Louisiana Gas with over 30 years of service. He excelled in his job and was promoted to construction superintendent for the North East district. He believed in treating his co-workers with dignity and respect.

Preston was also an Army veteran of the Korean Conflict. He was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky. During his military service he made over 20 successful jumps.

He loved his family, especially his wife of nearly 59 years, Fay and his two special granddaughters, Hannah Mardis and Amelia Crnkovic. They were the spice of his life and an enjoyment on their summer vacations together. He was an avid fisherman and he hosted many a good fish fry for family and friends. He also provided many others with an abundance of white perch. Preston was always eager and willing to help his neighbors and friends. He was a good provider for his family and he will be missed by many.

Mr. Crnkovic was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Bill, Keith, and Robert Crnkovic; and a sister, Doris Crnkovic.

Preston is survived by his wife of 59 years, Fay Trichell Crnkovic of Bastrop; three children, Gary Crnkovic of Bastrop, Vicki Crnkovic Mardis and her husband Ted of Tulsa, Okla., Scott Crnkovic and his wife Kim of Bastrop; two granddaughters, Hannah Mardis of Baton Rouge and Amelia Crnkovic of Bastrop; step-grandson, Jonathan Moreland of Bastrop; sister, Jane Acreman of Oak Grove; and numerous nieces and nephews.
