Another loss
Yesterday I read the obits in the last V8 times and saw a few friends. Today I was informed that Kermit Cross, Kerk on here, passed away. Kermit was one of the founding members of RG5 with Lee Abernathy? founder of Lebarron Bonney.
Kermit was a wealth of knowledge and attended many national meets. I believe he had a passion for 35s but it was a 32 he drove cross country with Charlie Gunn in 2005, or close to that.

Re: Another loss
He was a good guy and friend. We swapped a lot of '35 Ford parts back and forth. Always stopped by his spaces at Hershey, Pa and Fitchburg, Mass to chat. Rest in peace Kermit.

Re: Another loss
Rest in peace Kermit. I was looking forward to seeing you again at Hershey this year. I always enjoyed our visits.

Re: Another loss
Rest in peace Kermit! I have crossed paths with Kermit at National Meets. Loved his '32 painted Washington Blue!

Re: Another loss
Always enjoyed speaking to Kermit.
Fixed up a bunch of locks for him over the years. It was a pleasure visiting with him at Hershey. RIP Kermit see ya on the other side.

Re: Another loss
I always made a point of stopping at his Hershey spot to chat. A great guy always willing to dispense wisdom based on his many years of driving his 32 Tudor. He will be missed.

Re: Another loss
This is sad news. I spoke with him a week or two ago. He purchased one of my pedal plates for his pickup. I never met him, but just speaking with him on the phone I could tell he was someone I would’ve liked to have met. RIP Kermit.
