Dear Scott and family,
So sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad mostly helping out at the children's Christmas parties each year. He was such a gentleman, loved the children.Looking at the pictures he seemed like quit a character. The picture of him dressed as the pope, is very convincing. RIP Mr Pearson

My heart is so sad. I remember all the times we laughed and played, made chocolates, had tea parties, saw Santa and just enjoyed each other's company.

Alexandra truly enjoyed having Ross as an honourary grandfather and doing all those things with him that she didn't have the opportunity to do with my dad. His fun spirit and his up for anything attitude definitely made her childhood a little more enjoyable.

Our love and prayers are with all of you.

Stephanie, Thomas and Alexandra

I had the joy of meeting Ross when I went to visit Cathy. He was so sweet and always had a smile on his face. When he and Elly came to DC several years ago to see the Cherry Blossoms we spent several evenings together. He fell in love with my dog, Happy, and the feeling was mutual. I still cannot believe how much he looked like a Pope on Halloween a couple of years ago! Heaven just welcomed a very special angel. My love to Cathy and Elly
