I knew Ross when I attended Park St. church
from 1957 until 1989. Always quiet and humble
and a perfect gentleman. Hazel, my prayers will be with you.

Worked with Ross at Westinghouse in the fab and weld days, then in generators. Ross was a super nice guy. Very hard worker for Westinghouse. Will truly be missed.

What a nice man and how fortunate we were that he was our parents neighbor for so many years and such a great friend to them!Thw first year I met him, he made me a guardian angel out of beads and wire. She rides in my car with me every day! Hazel, my prayer for your peace and strenghth and grace as you go through this mourning period and deal with this heartbreaking loss. God Bless and I love you!
