Cross Family
My thoughts go out to all of you at the passing of your Dad. He was a true friend to my Dad, with whom they shares many worldly adventures at CT Main. I will be thinking of you all.

I have fond memories of Mr. Cross walking through our neighborhood in Walpole on a regular basis. He made walking "cool" long before it was. He and his wife, Elsie, were wonderful neighbors and always a delight to run in to. My condolences to the Cross family.

Llew was a big part of our lives in Roslindale. He was best man for my husband Bob 69 yrs ago Feb. They hitch hiked everywhere to go 'birding' which they both loved. Bob died in Jan. and I'm sure when Llew gets there they'll be off again to find some special bird. Wonderful memories of our youth.
My thoughts are with his family and wish you peace.

Mr. Cross, as he preferred to be called in the dining room of assisted living, was and is admired and respected by residents, aides and staff alike. When he heard me mention living in Brazil, he began greeting me in Portuguese every morning, talking about contemporary issues in Brazil, and remembering a mutual friend who was his dining partner at the Knolls for years. My visiting children talked about him being "cool." a memorable gentleman, indeed.
