O.O. Scroggin III
Retired Lt. Col. O.O. Scroggin III, age 77, of Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., passed away Wednesday, June 13, 2001, with congestive heart failure.
He was born on Oct. 5, 1923, in Little Rock, Ark. He was known as "Double O" or "Scrog" to folks who knew him well, but his sister Mary always called him Oliver. O.O. III had an amazing life. He joined the U.S. Air Force at age 18. He flew P47s and P51s in World War II, and flew F86s in Korea. He was an aeronautical engineer and a test pilot for 10 years at Wright Patterson, Eglin and Edwards Air Force Bases. Lt. Col. Scroggin served as a forward air controller with the Air Commandos during two tours in Vietnam, during which he was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in combat. He also received many other commendations, including a Purple Heart.
After 30 years in the Air Force, he bought his own plane to continue his love of flying. O.O. also loved camping, sailing, hunting, fishing and raising English Pointers.
O.O. was a member of St. Andrew's-by-the-Sea Anglican Church in Destin, Fla.
He is survived by his former wife of 33 years, Mary Scroggin and their four children with spouses: Dub and June Scroggin of Tucson, Ariz., Jeff and Lynn Scroggin of Atlanta, Jenny and Jamey Prescott of Jacksonville, Fla., and Clay and Debra Scroggin of Tampa, Fla.; eight grandchildren, Dionna, Julie, Misty, John, Julie, Justin, Jim and Maggie. Also, four great-grandchildren, Taylor, Colby, and twins Kayleigh and Andrew. He is survived by his only sister, Mary Scroggin Beegle and husband Monty of Little Rock, Ark. His parents and two brothers preceded him in death.
Family and friends are invited to a memorial service at McLaughlin Mortuary on Saturday, June 16. A visitation will take place from 10 to 11 a.m., with the service immediately following at 11 a.m. The Rev. Mike Hesse will officiate. O.O. will be buried, with full military honors, in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., on July 2.
