Gary L. Cross, age 76, of Ridge, on May 23, 2023. Proud veteran of the United States Army and lover of karaoke, card games and billiards. He loved music, particularly doo-wop and when Gary wasn't listening to it, he could be heard playing a tune on his guitar. He had a passion for chess, which is a talent he passed on to his grandchildren. When the weather was right and the sun shining high, Gary took to the waters around Long Island and enjoyed the thrill of water skiing.
Gary is survived by his beloved wife, Louise. Loving dad to Christina Swayze (Brian) and Stephanie Falcone (Ricky). Cherished Poppy to Kaitlyn, Kevin and Madison. Loving brother to Karen Schepis (Bob), Sonja Reina (Steve) and Kevin Cross.
