Robert Cross Obituary
Aug. 1933 ~ Jun. 2020
Robert, who went by Bob, was born in Seattle, WA to Wilford and Hazel Cross. He will be remembered for his fun and happy personality. Everyone knew Bob was in the room by his laugh. Bob loved the Lord and served faithfully in his church. He was a member of New Life Christian Center for many years. He attended schools in Renton, Washington, Modesto Junior College and graduated from University of Wyoming with a degree in pharmacy. He worked as a pharmacist for over 30 years; he owned Keyes Pharmacy and started the pharmacy at CSU Stanislaus. Bob loved to travel and had been all across the world including South America, Australia and Europe. He enjoyed his 1964 Volkswagen that he had restored and took it to many car shows.
He is survived by his wife Ailene Cross; children Kirsten (Jack Dale) Alvord and Tanya (Darren) Porter; sister Shirley Odle; five grandchildren Jack Shane, Jared, Cheyenne, Jordan and Annemarie; great grandchildren Titus, Nixon and Reagan. Bob was preceded in death by his parents and sister Margie Youngquist.

Bob was always one of our favorite patients. We would love when he would bring Joel with him to the office to have his hearing aids cleaned and checked. He had an infectious laugh and made us all smile and laugh along with him. He will be missed by us all.
Rest In Peace.
The staff of Blakemore Center.

I can honestly say that I dont recall ever interacting with Bob when he wasnt smiling or laughing. His home was always open to our crazy youth group, even after we broke his pool diving board! Even in recent months when I saw him at church, he would be smiling. A welcoming, approachable man of character.
