I worked with Skeet for many years as an educator and child advocate.  He was a wonderful educator and champion for children.  He will be remembered always !  Thanks Skeet--You made a difference!

My lifelong friend and brother. I will miss you all of the rest of my days. There are so many words that went unsaid except the ones " I love you". We always had that special bond from childhood on and it will always remain in my heart. You were and always will be my Brother. Love, Vernon.

During our brief relationship we grew very fond of Skeet and will miss him deeply.

Enjoyed having Dr. Creekmore for many of my Special Ed. classes at ULM in the early 1980's.  He was an awesome teacher and a kind man.  Still enjoying my job as an early childhood special ed. teacher in the Ouachita Parish School System.

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.

Nancy, keeping you and your family in my prayers...I know the pain of loosing someone you love, may the Lord keep you close and comfort you in the days ahead.

With all my love. Dr. Creekmore you kept me going and made me stay on task. You will be missed and I still cannot believe it.

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.

Dr. Creekmore was my advisor. I was honored to know him. - Patricia (Rainwater) Kitchens


Mrs. Creekmore,
He will be greatly missed. He was one of my favorite professors at ULM, and his enthusiasm was addicting! He is a wonderful man and he gave me some great memories!  Thank you for sharing him with all of us!

Skeet was a valued friend and colleague.  He will be missed by all who knew him. His many contributions to ULM and the general community will have a lasting impact.
