Crossfire salvaged an old Iver Johnson I inherited from my Grandpa that had a barrel bulge, would not take a dime for his work.
Good man and good friend.
Leroy and ISRO can apply negative pressure to my rectal opening, faocktards both!
Greg was an interesting cat, for sure! The guy could build, make, or engineer about anything it seemed.
He fixed up an old Stevens Favorite for me. It is my favorite rimfire rifle by far.
Vaya con Dios!
As an aside, how sad a sack of schit must one be to troll a dead man on an Internet forum? It could be comical if it wasn’t so fuggin pathetic.
MadMooner; Good morning to you sir, hopefully the Thanksgiving long weekend has treated you all acceptably and this finds you well.
Greg and I corresponded a fair bit over the years - he'd call me "Hoser" - a Bob and Doug McKenzie reference from his days on this side of the medicine line.
We eventually determined that we may well have met when he was managing a PetroCan gas station on the west side of Calgary that I filled up at a few times. Funny how small the world can get isn't it?
Anyways I'd pick his brain about everything from plastic welding to the merits of various bearing types for certain applications and as you noted, his input was usually experience based and pointed me in the correct direction for a solution.
He'd ask about it afterward too, so he was interested in still learning, which in my view and experience speaks to an individual who is still attempting to better themselves.
Oh, he sent me a book too, which reminds me I should add to my winter reading list again. It'll remind me of him and frankly too many of my friends and mentors who've left much too early for my liking.
I suppose that reminds us all however that the words we peck out here will remain indefinitely for others to read and either be edified or horrified, whichever is appropriate you know?
All the best to you as the days get shorter and colder sir.

Thank you Dwayne. Life, despite all the recent chaos, is wonderful.
Cross is one I definitely regret not going out of my way to visit with in person. We had chats that ranged from living aboard ships, rifles, cattle, diesels engines, etc.... He was a wealth of knowledge on many subjects. I respected the man, even if we didn’t always see eye to eye.
Hope you folks are warm, healthy, and well fed!
“Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”
Don't correct the POS ... He meant too spell it that way. In reference to his death and what his friends dealt with in the mans home when they went their.
Fugging troll looking for reaction and trying to strike nerves of those involved.
Others were fishing around about how the guy died after his death also.
Your never gonna know how he died azzhole even with your little innuendo game.... He had solid friends who will protect his memory.
Amazing how defensive the Campfire crybabies get about some drunk guy who offed himself. Bizarre stuff.
Obviously, he ended up an embarrassment to everyone here.
Uncalled for.
Those of us who knew him were aware of his complex character. Part saint and part sinner, like most of us. Surely had his own demons which he fought privately. Multi-talented and generous. A gracious host the time I visited him and enjoyed his hospitality.
Respect to those who guard his privacy. May he RIP.

i knew greg probably as long or longer than anyone on here. to leroy who ever you are, go [bleep] yourself. he dealt with many things. my overriding memory of greg was one day visiting with my wife, and touring his garden. He gave my wife a bunch of fruit to make a pie with, and then bent over in the old southern fashion to kiss her hand. there were times he could really piss me off, but he never stopped being my friend, and doesn't deserve this crap. multitalented is an understatement.
i have many memories of greg, both good, mostly good, and some bad. but i remember the day we were s hooting down there, and i noticed that ruger old army bp revolver he had on. loaded with 400 grain 45. 70 leadpills. he grinned and said you couldn't blow up the ruger, just stuff enough powder in it to leave room for the lead, and let it go. I have an old army and keep saying i am gonna try that load some day. Lots of memories, like him trying to talk me into putting night vision game camera's in the san pedro, to record the narco's moving stuff north. didn't ever happen. but i remember sitting at his house at night watching the lights going over the mt from mexico. greg posted a lot on the border. what almost nobody knew was his love of south america, and his attachment for the people. which is about all i am gonna say. i hesitate in posting this link here, but maybe it will shut up some of the azzholes on here. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/190704568/gregory-tilford-cameron
Golly, I knew he had been many places and done a bunch but I never knew about special effects.
My Ex and I stopped in to see him, maybe 2006, he was a gracious host.

Well said Paul. Thank you.

He said the director ( as well as others on the set), got a little more than they bargained for (in true Greg fashion)!

Interesting to see some of the things a respected 'fire member had a hand in.
I can't recall seeing evidence of "anything" the two running Greg down have done.
Because of these types of threads , there are days I regret ever having learned about the internet and curse Al Gore for having invented it.
But, then I remember, it's through the magic of the internet I got to meet Greg and many others who are useful human beings, even with warts and all.
Some others here I do certainly wonder about their usefulness, except perhaps as great examples of what not to be in life.

Offed himself ? So you are privy to information that none of us are, even his closest of friends.
So you should speak to the authorities, and get them up to date on what you know to be solid fact about his death.
Cross was never an embarrassment, just a decent human trying to make it through life just like the rest of us, and trying to help those who truly needed it in life.
I was thinking after starting to read this thread, right before we took the dogs for a walk, that Lynn will be along to address these two (insert favorite word for unlikeable folks).
As per usual, you are too kind and polite in your words to them. However, I guess I'd expect nothing less.
Enjoy the day there, we're having a wonderful sunny fall day here. I hope you're having the same.

I popped in to see how the ‘Fire was processing all the 2020 cra-cra. No comment there. I did not know Greg had passed. We certainly went round and round, but we had some back-channel comms in private that showed me he had a heart of gold. RIP Greg.
What an incredible coincidence that you would just show up in such a timely manner.....
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.
Fred gets permabanned for calling Rick out for allowing Scott to trash his wife and kids, but ISRO and Leroy can talk scheit and trash a dead mans name. Pretty fugged up.
Good thing Fred never said anything about stick's family.
Stick deserves everything he gets and then some here

I had been speaking to Cross through the PM function here and I offered to come down and help him get his flagpole up. I don’t remember the timeline but suffice to say that I never had the pleasure of shaking his hand and I’m diminished for it.
I got my ass chewed by him and I chewed his ass a time or 2 but I had (have) nothing but respect for the man. I dearly wanted to meet him and was fascinated by his life’s adventures.
I think about him often and he’s always in my prayers. That was the toughest death of a person I had never met that I’ve ever dealt with.
