Blessings from Khalil

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Mr Cross was such a kind gentleman. I pray that God will bring you and your family peace and comfort.

It was our privilege to have met and enjoyed the company of Mr. Cross over the years. He was an extraordinary person and enriched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him. A life well-lived. God bless.

I will always remember Mr.Cross, coming to my classes at Forest Park and Sci-Tech and teaching my students what can be achieved with hard work, clean living and respect for God,and Country. He wore his Tuskegee Airman flight suit with his 1st Lt. rank , looking ramrod straight, fit and trim with only his silver hair indicating that he was in the Army Air Corps before the Air Force existed. This patriot was an example of the Greatest Generation. God bless!

My deepestsympathy to the entire Cross .

Thank you Mr. Cross for spending the time to teach the students and myself from The Sage School in Springfield about Tuskagee Airmen and aviation. I will never forget our "Day in Search of A Cloud!" May you be lifted up on Eagles Wings and see the shining face of our Lord always. You have earned your wings.

Mr. Cross has spoken to my students on many occasions. He was very gracious with his time. Thank you for your service to our country and our community. The poster of you hangs proudly in my office. My condolences to your family and friends.
