To the Cross family!! I am so sorry for your loss my fondest memories of your dad include the swim meets at Ledgewood and other pools and the Parties we had as life guards with pig roasts etc. he was always so kind to me and all the other kids in the neighborhood. I pray for your strength and courage. I miss all of you. I'm sorry I will not be able to make it, I'm in Indiana. Love you all, RIP Jim Cross. Kathy Koran Saum.
Dear Rita, Jimmy, Maria and Johnny, I was so saddened to hear of Jim's passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We only lived on The Bluffs four years , but I have really good memories of Jim, especially the time when he roasted that side of beef or was it a whole pig?
Good times with lots of laughter.
Love, Charlotte Hamas Roaderick
Rita, Jimmy, Maria and Johnny: Thinking of you all, wishing I could be there for the services. Your house was always a place where I felt safe and relaxed. Couldn't imagine growing up without Maria in my life. The last time I saw Jim was at Maria's wedding, so much fun taking my little brother, Matt, as my date. Times goes by so quickly. Please know I am there in spirit!
My heart goes out to Rita, Johnny, Maria and Jimmy. Big Jim remains a great part of our childhood memories. Sending my love.
So many fine memories of Jim and Rita and the Ledgewood Association swim team. I can always picture Jim with a timer in his hand clocking the kids laps during swim meets and cheering all the kids on. And the neighborhood greater who sat in his chair by his garage with a smile on his face and a loving greating and always had time to chat. He was truly a pleasure to know and will be remember. My deepest sympathy to the family.
