My condolence to the family of Mutt. I new Mutt in high school, he has always had that amazing smile when ever you saw him. I use to see him just about every day on 4th Ave or Meadowbridge. Mutt will be missed but not forgotten. My blessings goes out to you.

To the Ross family, let not your hearts be heavy or sadden for "Mutt". He touched many lives through his words and smile. Always willing to help others overcome their problems, while masking his own. Rest in peace my brother.

To the Ross Family,
May the Lord shine his blessings on all of you during this time of bereavement. May he give you all strength to encourage and support each other as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine. May you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Mutt may be gone but he will always be remembered.

To: Family of Mutt
The death of people whom we love
Brings sorrow and deep pain;
But if our loved ones know the Lord,
Our loss becomes their gain
Because Christ lives, Mutt death is not a tragedy but triumph for him.

Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest". Mutt could mingle with the best and everybody knew him. His kind heart and generosity will never be forgotten. Lay to rest for you are at peace.
