RIP old buddy.
Damn! I had a lot of good talks with Greg, I'm going to miss them.
Greg was a damn fine man, very smart, generous, and good with his hands.
It's times like these that I hate this place.

This is the worst news in a long time. I thought that leathery little desert dude was invincible.
I always had a good time talking with Cross on here when he wasn't cussin' at me.
He was a heck of a character.

Damn! What I was afraid to read on this thread! Always enjoyed his posts and always looked for any thread he started. This website and this country is worse off because of it.

I do not know what transpired. They were found inside his home. My guess is they will send his remains to the medical examiner to determine COD. Other than informing me of his passing, no specific information was provided by the deputy that called following my request for a wellness check. In truth I did not want to know and did not ask. I will remember him as he is in the picture, with a gun he restored in my behalf.
My last communication with him was on 9-23 via email and by phone a few days prior when he called to inquire how we fared with H. Irma. He mentioned that he had been having a bout of back pain, but otherwise seemed normal in all regards.
I'm fairly hardened to such things, but this one hits kind of close to home. He had done a fair bit of gun work for me in days gone by and provided guidance on the topic many times. To hear him speak of better days he came from many lands and lived life to the fullest. From his days on board the sea going ships with his father, to Canada and other points of the compass. He lived as some only dream of and he has my undying respect.

Sad to hear it while I didn't always agree with what he had to say. I usually learned something regardless. He was a character. R.I.P
