I MET DR. CREEKMORE 17 YEARS AGO WHEN I CAME TO WORK HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY. HE GREETED ME WITH KINDNESS EVERY TIME OUR PATHS CROSSED. IT WAS WONDERFUL KNOWING HIM. WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE CREEKMORE FAMILY!

I met Dr. Creekmore at a ULM athletic event, but had heard many good things about him before hand. As a Christian man I appreciate how he invested his life where God placed him. He made a very positive lasting mark on the ULM community. I also admire the fact that he had degrees from so many different universities, in addition to his athletic success. He ran his race in life well and left a legacy of effective stewardship unto God.

The Monroe/West Monroe area has lost a true treasure of a man. Our sons played basketball together when they were much younger and he always remembered me even after many years. I know he's in heaven meeting and greeting! My prayers are with you.

We met Skeet at one of the many car shows we attended years ago and he also worked with my late brother, Bob Carroll, at ULM. He was a delight to know and loved his classic cars. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
