Deepest condolences to Ross's family. Ross and I were neighbors on Phelps St back in our childhood. We had so much fun playing baseball and he got me to join Troup 5 at St. Joesph for a year or two... Fond memories growing up with him and his sister Kathy. We lost tract after high school as I moved out of state after my military service.

Ross was a close friend for many years of my daughter's father and I. Aaron and my daughter were born less than six weeks apart and we all spent a great deal of time together when our kids were infants and learned alot together about being first time parents. Ross will be missed by many.
