Gracie and I would play growl and fight over her chew bone, Greg would sit in his chair and laugh.

RIP Cross, and condolences to all that lost a friend.

It's poor form to speak badly of the dead, they lived life their own way...like it or not. All we have is our reputation as men, we earned and worked for that...once gone, we can't defend our name,,,let the man lie in peace, and don't ruin a caring thread in his memory.

You have revealed yourself as small...
Hope you got some sort of sick satisfaction from your own posts,
as you have cooked your own goose here.
Bye.

Vaya con Dios buddy.

Sad news tonight. RIP Greg.

My condolences to his friends. RIP.

I went back and forth with Cross about a lot of stuff. We didn't always agree. Crossfire was a man with a man's set of stones and a new day was a new day.
He had depth of character and the longer you knew him the more you appreciated him.

You? I've learned all I wanna know in one post.

Sorry to hear, never met the man and only talked to him a couple of times, he was one of the more knowledgeable persons on this site when it came to working with metal and with his hands, I enjoyed his post and envied his place and life style. RIP

Greg was my friend - knew him face-to-face. We spoke on the 'Fire and on the phone many times.
He was a much better man than Squirrelnut - who will now be only the 4th on ignore, after my many years here.

[bleep].
It so saddens me to See the good ones go.
Today is a bad day...

Bummed, ....always read Cross's postings; he loved this country!

And as was mentioned, his knowledge base was incredible. A good one gone!

If any of you that are working this out on Greg's end should need anything that I can provide, please let me know

I said it in a PM and I’ll say it here that if there’s anything I can do please let me know.

I liked his style, it sometimes took some deciphering but it was always good. Besides having Crossfire get on your ass was a right of passage. 😉

Sad deal. R.I.P. Greg.

He was a crusty old bastard and I mean that in an endearing way.

RIP Sir.

We will do whatever we can to see Greg taken care of, he had no family to speak of and I'm not sure the legal issue involved but we will do whatever we can. If it takes donations I will post that here. We will definitely have a service at the AZ February get together coming up.

The 'Fire goes back far enough that I can recall Greg posting a picture of him and his mom sitting outside with a Jack Russel, I'm thinking I recall photos of Gracie as a pup. Maybe that was back on Shooterstalk I dunno. When I was married we stopped in maybe eight or ten years back when his mom was alive.

I have a friend here on the fire that didn't get along with Cross.....it came up in casual conversation one day when we were driving out shoot some Ground Squirrels. All he said was "I just can't get along with the guy, It's too bad too because there's a lot to be learned from old guys like him".

Squirrelnutt could learn a lot from my friend.

I traded many emails with him, and was planning to let him rebuild a couple of old rifles. I'd planned to visit him in August, but had to back out.

He was a craftsman and character of the old school, and I will forever regret not being able to shake his hand.

Thank you for what you gave us Greg, it will be remembered.

He helped me out getting an old Stevens Favorite into shape a couple years back. It was an old family relic that now has another memory attached to it.

He had another pup I believe. She been taken care of?
