Our prayers go out to the family, we use to be neighbors on Fairwood ave. The entire Ross family are great people and the best neighbors, I love his family, they were role models for the community. Otie sure made delicious barbeque chicken. I will miss seeing HIM sitting on the porch when I go by. Love the Lane Family.
