Joe Glenn Cross, age 77 of Crossville TN, went to be with the Lord on July 2nd 2020. He was married to his beautiful bride, Janet Cross, for 58 years and had five wonderful children together!

Joe was quite the man. He honorably served in the US Army and proudly ranked as an E-5 soldier. His family and his country greatly appreciate his service during the Vietnam War. He was always a man of carpentry, from memories his children had of him cutting down trees all over their property to even building their family home. Before residing in Crossville TN, Joe and his family lived in Chicago Illinois and was the Owner/Operator of an auto body repair shop of twenty years, Owner/Operator of a taxi cab service of ten years, and a driver for the public transit CTA Bus of ten years. Admiration is the word to describe Joe G. Cross from his wife to his children to their family friends. “We love you, we miss you, and we are proud to call you husband and dad.”

Joe was survived by: wife, Janet Cross; children, Jennie McCluskey (Patrick), Robin Cross, Amanda Bagley (Robert), Erin Lane, and Johnny Cross; 11 Grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren; Sisters, Faye Milner and Anne Dickerson; and brother, Elmer Lee Cross.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, John Nathan Cross and Jessie Lee Rushing.
