Not sure what to say?

I Remember Ross and his father living on Talbot street back in the 70's, they had a fruit tree in the back yard that we use to eat from, and ross always held conversation with us, he's a part of my memeorie's.

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.
Presvytera Zafera Bartz

I remember Ross from our days at BFGoodrich. He was one of the kindest souls I had ever known. May peace and comfort be granted to his loved ones. Memory Eternal!

Sylvia, Sorry for your loss your long ago Talbot avenue neighbors Carolyn Cox(Johnson) and Dee Dee Johnson

Ross Kalegi and his family were long time true friends of our family. We go back in time sharing our youth together. Ross was a real gentleman and we share his loss with Sylvia and Maria & Jamie. Pope Rasmussen, Eric & Dana.

I BECAME FRIENDS WITH ROSS AT THE NURSING HOME WHERE MY BROTHER RESIDED. HE WAS A JOY TO KNOW AND A GREAT FRIEND TO MY BROTHER. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO CALL HIM OUR FRIEND.

ROSS AND I FIRST MET AT AKRON U AS STUDENTS, AND IN LATERS YEARS CONTINUED OUR FRIENDSHIP AS MEMBERS OF THE Y ATHLETIC MEN'S CLUB. HE WAS, WITHOUT OUT A DOUBT, A PERSON WHO ALWAYS GREETED YOU WITH A SMILE, AND WAS THERE IF YOU NEEDED HELP WITH ANYTHING. I WAS PRIVELEGED HE WAS AN ACQUAINTANCE AND A FRIEND. ROSS CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED "AS A GREAT GUY AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN". I AM OUT OF TOWN AND CAN NOT PERSONALLY OFFER MY CONDOLENCES. MAY HE REST IN PEACE!!
