That’s a great pic.

Old Wolfville will never be the same.

That picture always made me happy. His Mom tenderly holding her “little boys’” hand and both beaming with pride at having lunch with the most important person in each others’ life. I’m sure they had one hell of a reunion here recently.

Cross kindly gifted me with a copy of "Old Wolfville" with a beautiful inscription written in it. After I read it I placed it on my bedside table and it has been there ever since, other than to read it again, I am thinking it is going to stay there, as reminder of a great man, a good man, and a dear friend, who never passed judgement on me, and who according to him, "liked me just the way I am".

I don't think my heart will ever stop hurting, he was rare, and life is not as sweet without him.

Now and forever Cross,

Peaches

Thanks for posting those pics KRP.

Miss Lynn, I always got a kick out of somebody making a comment or snarky remark to you and by the time I counted to 10 Crossfire was reading them the riot act. It was obvious to this observer that you held a special place in Greg’s heart just as he does in yours.

Thank you for the song, it is amazing, and it goes to the heart and soul of America, the America that Cross loved so deeply.

I cried, from beginning to end.

Lynn

Thank you for the kind words.

I adored Cross more and more every time he took another of the troupe of idiots down, those who somehow convinced themselves that I was fair game, and that crapping on me made them men. Not a one of them could ever walk in his shoes.

In the end, if I were to draw a blueprint of a true and loyal friend, with all that I have learned in this last 56 years, that portrait would be of Cross.

Lynn

When I read about Cross's passing one of the first thoughts I had was of you, I know you and Greg were very close, I'm very sorry you lost your friend Lynn, I know he will live on in your heart forever.

Wow. Just wow. Thank you.

Truly, but for justice if a neer-do-well was involved as some with professional bent have opined.

Not a damn thing about it makes sense, nor the manner in which the whole story is "not" unfolding with answers.

How Greg came by all the copies of the book he had is an interesting story.

Those with “professional bent” were just engaging in speculation. The circumstances around Greg’s death are not at all uncommon.

Nor is the lack of official disclosures at this point uncommon.

Old guys who live alone are often not found for several days after their deaths and sorting out the next of kin is important and time consuming.

I reckon that at some point he figured it out that your and my banter back and forth was all in good fun.
Wonder his thought on one subject[i feel certain that 'over the top' would be his choice]. wink

Sorry for your and everyone elses loss of such a great friend.
RIP GTC

Been hunting steady. And just saw this. Although I never met the man. I've always respected a man that wouldn't hesitate to tell ya where the bear chit in the buckwheat. OOPS was that kind of man. Really not hard to recognize when ya know what to look for. RIP




Take care, Willie

You're welcome.
