He is survived by his children, Anne Fulford-Brown (John) and Craig Hutchison (Janice) and their children, Lauren and Matthew as well as his sister-in-law, Judith McCulloch of Ancaster. He was predeceased by his adored grandson, Campbell Smith and his two sisters, Orrie Bonney and Betty Hudson. Ross grew up in Ottawa, Ontario and went to Glebe Collegiate excelling in all sports. He graduated from the School of Business at Western University in 1957 where he was on the swim team and competed in track and field.
