CLIFTON PARK- David A. Cross, 77, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.

Born in Troy, he was the son of the late Joseph and Ruth (Carlson) Cross. David graduated from Catholic High School, Siena and Syracuse Colleges.

He worked for the state of New York as a computer programmer for 30 years, retiring in 2001.

David possessed a genuine curiosity about the world and loved to debate any topic you could think of. Politics, DIY work around the house, sports, you name it, he loved to debate it. He was particularly fond of reading up on subjects such as physics and astronomy and tinkered with creating his own computer network at home. He could be found watching shows on aliens, Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel, or watching the New York Football Giants.

David was the husband of the late Diane Sardynski Cross; father of Bryan (Jennifer) Cross and Andrew (Jolie) Cross; grandfather of Connor and Abigail Cross; brother of Sharon Cross.
