I would like to send my deepest sympathy to Ross' family. I am sorry I could not make yesterday's service to pay my respects to Ross. When I was in high school, I worked at the Athletic Club (in the 1960s) where my father, Chick, was the masseur. Ross was one of the friendlies members. He always took time to speak with me and see how I was doing. He was a real gentleman and I am so pleased I got to know him.
Regards,
Don

Ross was the first person to welcome Fr. George Bartz and me to Akron in 1956, by coming to our home with a lovely gift and much warmth.
I will always remember him as a gentleman with a twinkle in his eye and many stories of his family history.
May God rest Ross' soul in His heavenly kingdom where there is no pain or sorrow but life everlasting.
