To the Leslie and the Cross Family. I am just now finding out about Gordon’s passing. During the late 90’s and early 2000’s, I had the privilege to work and travel with Gordon. He was a man with a very sharp mind and lots of experience,. a great teacher and loved to share his experiences. On one occasion we spent 2 weeks crisscrossing the Maritimes meeting clients and looking for new ones. Great memories of a Great Man
To Gord’s family, we are so sorry to hear the passing of your Dad, & Grandfather. If you go to Webster’s dictionary you will see Gord’s unique smile under the definition of a Fine Gentleman! Gord was so good with the 4 Jays and on many occasions of fires by 4th Pond, visiting with Duncan & Daphne (Pearl), and just having everyday conversations with them and myself & Linda.
We admire your Dad & Grandfather for the great times he shared with our family friend Daphne. As we grow old we didn’t see him much but the memories that we have with him and Daphne are cherished ones for sure.
Take Care Cross Family and be proud that Gord has garnished his Angel wings and was a delight in our eyes as well I’m sure he was with you guys.
Godspeed to our Friend Gordon
The 4 Jays and Chris & Linda
Sending my condolences to Gordons family at this difficult time.Gordon was a client of mine at Straightedge barbers for years when it was opened A very friendly gentleman
My deepest sympathy goes to all the Cross family..Thinking of you all…
We remember the fun times and the laughs we had during the family visits to St. Andrews. Hard to forget the time that Brian & Andrew pulled the plug in the row boat 300 feet from shore on Birch Cove! Leslie, David, and families: life passes so quickly and so many wonderful people pass with it. Treasure the fond memories and especially treasure all those who will carry on our names forever.
Deepest condolences to the family on Gord’s passing.. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
