Donald Ray Cross, 73, of Sun City, Arizona passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 30, 2004.

He served in the United States Navy in submarines during the Korean War and was a disabled veteran. He later attended college in West Virginia and completed his master's degree in education at the University of Miami. It was in Miami where he met and married his devoted wife of 46 years, Virginia (Ginnie), and their son Kenneth was born. The new family moved to Tucson where the golfing and the fishing were great, Don was on the faculty at the University of Arizona, and their daughter Sara was born. In the 1970's, the family moved to Dallas, Texas, where Don continued his work in rehabilitation. He spent most of his professional life working with the disabled and helped countless people receive medical and vocational services. He was an angel who appeared at just the right moment to many, many people in desperate and dire need. He was incredibly proud of his son Kenneth, who became a doctor and his daughter Sara, who followed in his footsteps and became a teacher. Over the years the family enjoyed many wonderful trips and vacations together, but the very best was when Ginnie surprised Don with a fishing trip to Alaska for their 30th wedding anniversary. Don and Ginnie moved to Sun City, Arizona in 2000, before the arrival of their first and only grandchild, Kasey Leah-Rose Cross. Of all the titles Donald R. Cross ever held, "Grandpa" was his favorite. His "Little Miss Kasey" will miss him dearly, as will the rest of his family and friends.
