It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden and peaceful passing of a loving husband, brother, uncle and friend, surrounded by family at the Heath Sciences Centre. We know Harry is enveloped in the love of his parents Jim and Emma, his brother Gerald, brother-in-law Robert Green, mother-in-law Gladys Marsden, brother-in-law Calvin Durnford as well as many friends.
Leaving to celebrate his life are his soulmate and best friend Una Marsden, sisters Ann Green (daughter Sandy) and Roxanne & Paul Crocker (daughters Alyssa & Emma), brothers Herb & Gertrude Cross (children Claude, Rick & Trudy), Fred & Doris Cross (children John, Joanne, Jan & Jill), Curtis Cross, Randy Cross & Brenda Healey (children April & Brian), sister-in-law’s Sheila Cross (children Gerry, Jamie & Jeffrey) and Clara Durnford, brother-in-laws Martin Marsden and Lloyd Marsden, and his good friends Rick Best, Vicky Hynes, Cyril Best and Heber Miller.
Harry was a lover of food especially fish and good old Newfie meals that he loved to share. Nothing made him happier than family and friends dropping by. His love of music started at a very early age, anything from hymns to rock and roll, he knew them all. As we all know, the Beatles was in his blood.
Harry made friends wherever he went, everyone certainly felt his love and had a laugh in his presence. He was compassionate, caring and constantly worried about family and friends, putting their needs before his own. His love of children and animals was something to be admired.
Harry was so grateful for the care he received over the last few years. He would always tell the health care professionals what a wonderful job they were doing and “I can’t believe the service I get”. Special thank you to Dr. Duffy and Dr. Rourke and their teams, the CCU nurses Anne and Chivonne, and other doctors and nurses that took great care of him throughout his stay. We appreciate you all.
Visitation will take place at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Friday, July 15 from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Funeral service will be held from The Carnell Memorial Chapel on Saturday, July 16 at 10 a.m. Interment to follow at Anglican Cemetery, Kenmount Road. The service will be livestreamed. Donations in his memory may be made to The Alzheimer’s Society.
As Harry would say from time to time “In my life, I loved them all”.

So sorry for the loss of such a caring beautiful man.Always had a joke and a smile and whistled while he worked.Always be missed.Love Joy and David Dunne.
I can’t remember many days when we lived on Pennywell Road that Harry and Curtis weren’t in our living room – a part of our family.. My brother Chris and of course, Vicky, would go on to be a huge part of Harry’s life. Sincere condolences to the family and especially Una, the love of his life!
Oops! Forgot to sign my previous entry. I can hear Harry laughing at me!

My deepest condolences to Una and the Cross family on the passing of our beloved Harry. Harry was indeed one of a kind. He was my closest childhood friend. I like many share in your sadness, but also your fond memories of our times together with Harry. Many of those memories will be shared at his upcoming service.Sorry that I cannot be there as I’m sure that many a laugh and tear will be shed.
Harry,Vicky and myself had spent a lot of time together in our teenage years, most of the time just sitting around shooting the breeze. I recall us being together in 1969 watching Neil Armstrong being the first man to step on the moon. It was a beautiful summer evening, we sat on the Hyne’s porch looking up at the moon,till the sun came up the next morning. Have no idea what we talked about. Also recall when Harry got one of the first copies of the Beatles White Album.We didn’t see him for days, as he listened to it over and over again. I can hear his mom now, Harrrrry turn down the music!
I’m going to listen to the White Album and reminisce all the good times. Love you Harry to the moon and back.
To All Family & Friends. I have known Harry for like 45 years. Whether it was at the bar of the Strand Lounge lined off with the Bestie Boys or at Brigetts playing darts. We all shared a lot of great times. I wonder if that tweed blazer and scarf still exists. I think he had worn it for at least 50 years. I have lost touch with him and all the crowd for many years, but I will never forget the times we all shared.I am so sorry for his loss. R.I.P. Harry and God Bless to all. From you Pal BIG AL.
Una and the Cross Family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Harry’s passing. It’s been many years since I saw him, but I remember all the good times spent with him, Heber and Dianne and the rest of the group. You won’t be forgotten.

To the Cross Family: Sincere condolences on the passing of Harry. May all your beautiful memories sustain you at this difficult time. My mother Margaret and Emma were great friends. Hopefully, all those who have gone before will welcome Harry’s musical talent and rejoice. Stay strong and Rest In Peace Harry. Trixie (Cooze) Wight
