Worked with Don at NYLIC and the pleasure of knowing him calling him Don. We ran at the NYLIC 5th Basement track. He was a gentleman and kept the NYLIC family in his thoughts all the Time. His name and memory will live on in NYLIC history .Charlie Ford

Truly a class act! My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Mary and Don were great friends of my parents and I have many fond memories of them growing up.

Don Ross was a great leader and always kind and professional.

So sad to hear the news. All that knew him have gained so much. Our sympathy goes out to Mary and the entire family.

Don was the consummate gentleman, a great leader, a decisive decision maker with insight and vision.
I joined New York Life just as he assumed the Chairmanship, and feel most fortunate to have done so.
My sympathy to Mary and Don's entire family.
