Just heard about Ross's passing. Sad to hear the news while i have not seen Ross in many years we did to middle school and graduated from Roseboro Salemburg High school in 1973. I considered him a great person and a good friend during the time we knew each other. Prayers for the family and may he rest in peace.

Ross made his law practice a real profession. I never saw him make a professional disagreement into a personal matter; nor did he break his word. The courthouse is a meaner and poorer place without Ross.
