Not sure what to say?

I met "Mr. H-V" in the school system when he was an Ed Tech, working with special education. He was also the advisor to the Chess Club, which I participated in. Mr. H-V, as we all called him, was the nicest person you could ever want to meet. He and I were close as mentor and student, which grew into an educational friendship. He would always say hello to me in the halls or around the school with a smile. Mr. H-V was a shining light and really helped me through school, and I am very sad that...

So sorry to hear of Ross' recent passing. I thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humor during our work together at Banknorth. My condolences to Julie and their children.

I am very sad to hear of Mr H-V's passing. I worked with Ross at Great Falls Elementary where he always had a smile on his face and the kids adored him. He truly loved what he did! My condolences to his family who he loved so dearly.

I haven't' seen Ross in many years, but worked with him in a law firm a long time ago. I remember his kind demeanor and willingness to assist anyone who asked. He was also a stalwart in the lawyers softball league, always enthusiastically offering support to the team. It is very sad that he was taken much too early. Condolences to his family and friends.

Thank you for your service.

I did not know Mr. Hugo-Vidal but reading of his work, particularly as an educator and what it meant to him, is inspiring. His comments about being a special education ed tech resonates with me as I feel the same way. I'm sor sorry for your loss and for the loss to the children he taught. The world, particularly spec ed needs more people like him.

Ross always had a smile and kind welcome every day that I saw him. He has left me with the wisdom that family is most important and kindness survives all. I will truly miss his sparkling eyes and I know that the world was a better place having had Ross here. I know that his family has heard how much Ross left both his students and colleges at Narragansett but I will tell you once more he was a gem.

I have known Ross since his first days in our Gorham schools. Always cheerful and kind he contributed to many students new interest in coming school. His approach was magical for some. It was always a pleasure to be greeted by Ross genuine interest in each and everyone of us. I especially enjoyed sharing about our daughters similar professional interest. You will be greatly miss sweet man.

I briefly worked with Ross at People's Heritage almost 25 years ago. Even after all this time I remember what a kind and smart college he was.
