Not sure what to say?

Easton was my boss at Kasch's Garden Centers for several years, during the nineteen-seventies. Dry as rye toast, astute, wickedly funny and very nice to me. I liked Easton so very dearly. He was a gentleman and he had a kind heart; I truly enjoyed working with him. I can still see him peering down over his half glasses, which he fumbled with a lot, whilst mumbling work directions to me in a kindly manner. It was good, Easton Cross. Thank you. -Mel Lumby

Easton, I cherish your laughter!!

Easton was a friend. We knew each other for more than 40 years. For awhile, our advertising/public relations firm was White Wykoff and Cross. Easton was the public affairs person and he was good at it. He had a wicked sense of humor when it came to the politically conservative. He also was very kind. Politically, he was among the most astute people I have known. As others have said, he will be missed.

I have known Mr. Cross over 30 years as I am employed at his dental office and he knew my late father. It was always wonderful to see him and chat it up a bit. He will be missed.

Dear Sally,
During Mass on Saturday, when we celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent, your Father and all your family will be in our prayers and in our hearts. We share your grief. With lots of love and kisses from us both, Pierre and Jacqueline

Our condolences to his family, especially our own Sally. Thanks for the gift of her.

Easton was one of the Wise Men to me. He had that rare talent to see where we were going and advice on what to do. Plus a great sense of humor. Gary White

I will miss Easton while shopping at the Stadium Fred Meyer. We were both regulars there over the years and it was always fun to chat with him about politics. I'll miss him.

You will be missed Uncle Easton. Thanks for all the memories and love. May your soul find peace and your mind be at rest and your family find comfort without your gracious presents. Much Love, you niece Susan
