I extend my prayers and condolences to Ross' family. May God be your strength as you mourn the loss of your loved one. I met Ross on the job (FBI) in 1978 and we instantly became friends. He was an energetic, big hearted, easy going, optimistic man that “has never met a stranger.” He fully embraced life and welcomed everyone into his circle of friends. We will miss his presence but we rejoice in knowing he no longer suffers and has been reunited with many of his family and friends on the other side. There is no death, only transition. Until we meet again, Rest In Peace Ross.
