Dear Ann, Dorry, and families, I was saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was a man of God, so I know he is home now, but he will be greatly missed. He touched countless lives with his warmth, grace, caring, compassion, and integrity. He was a true gentleman. From the moment Dorry befriended me and brought me home to meet you, Tom and you showed me the love of God in action by welcoming me into your home, sponsoring my Cursillo,and uplifting me though a period of loss in my life.
I will...

To Mr. Rosser's family, My sincerest condolences to you all. Mr. Rosser was a wonderful human being, a great administrator, and mentor to so many educators throughout Ventura County. I had the opportunity to appreciate his work at the district office and as he returned to teach at Adolfo Camarillo High School. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ann and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you with the loss of Tom. He was a good friend, a straightforward, compassionate teacher and administrator who loved kids. I first worked with Tom at ACHS in the early '60's and we were good friends throughout our careers in the OUHD. We will miss him. Our very best to you and your family.

Sincerely,
Don and Agatha Miller

Tom Rosser was a gentle, kind and wonderful man who made such a positive difference in the lives of those with whom he associated. It was a privilege to know him and share the respect that so many others shared as well. As a high school teacher, it was a privilege to have Dorry as a student at ACHS. It was so easy to see that she had the same kind and gentle ways of her parents...it was a delightful experience to have Dorry in class. What a blessed life he lived and may you cherish those...

Aside from Mr. Rosser being a fantastic teacher, he was a good person and shown his students, by example, how decency and honesty built character. I've never forgotten him. Joyce Ranney Walker OUHS'56

Dear Ann:
I miss you here in Camarillo. I worked with Tom at ACHS and Ann you did my taxes. We were also connected with 4H. My prayers are with you and family. God Bless.

I had the pleasure of working with Tom at OUHS district office. He was always helpful and kind. He was the go to guy when one needed extra help. Later when he returned to the classroom, my son was in his history class and thought he was a great teacher. He was a good man and he will be missed.

Ann, I am thinking of you and wishing I could see you. I am so sorry to hear about Tom's passing. You both were so wonderful to me during those grueling campaigns in 1998 and 2000. Please know that you are in my prayers. With much love, Roz McGrath

To the family. I had the pleasure of working with Tom in negotiating the first collective bargining agreement for the Oxnard Union High School District. Tom and I were on opposite sides of the table but he made it easy to resolve conflicts because of his integrity and straight-shooting style. My condolences.
