Cromien buried at Aspen Hill
Cormac Cromien, Jr., a well-known prep cook in Jackson Hole, was buried Saturday at Aspen Hill cemetery following funeral services at the Mountain View Independent Baptist Church.
Mr. Cromien died May 27 at the Sublette County Retirement Home. He was suffering from Alzheimer's disease but died after a stroke. He was 73.
The following obituary was prepared by his friend Rob Lewis:
Cromac Cromien was born in New York, New York, the son of Irish immigrants and the only boy in a family of five girls. His family moved again to New Jersey before taking up residency on a Montana wheat farm.
He real name was Cromac McCart Collingill Cromien. He always said the name represented the Irish tradition of naming children after a saint, a thief and a king.
He attended school at the Rocky Boys Indian Reservation in Montana, while living near Box Elder, Mont. He left home at an early age and played semi-pro baseball out of Great Falls, Mont.
He later joined the Navy. During World War II while serving on the South China Sea, his destroyer was sunk. He spent two days floating in a life jacket before he was rescued.
After the war, he went to work as a maintenance man at the University of Utah. He also worked at a golf course in Arizona before coming to Jackson Hole. Here he ran a sandwich shop for a short time, but he is best known as a prep cook. During his life here he worked in nearly every restaurant in Jackson Hole.
Everyone liked Cormac. He got along with people of all ages especially the waiters, waitresses and cooks with whom he worked. Never owning a drivers license in Jackson Hole, he walked everywhere. HE had a vast fondness for animals and knew most of the dogs in town by name. He always carried scraps of meat to feed them. He was a private person, a kind-hearted fellow with a ready laugh and good nature.
Cormac also was an active member of the Mountain View Independent Church.
