Ross Hodge

I worked for lt hodge at the personal affairs and family services office as an airman in the 341 strat missile wing and remember him as a really nice person and one of the finest officers I’ve known.

To my longest love, best friend, and confidante. No other man, other than my beloved Dad, helped shape me as an adult more than you did. We shared many silly in-jokes, traveled to many places, ate so much great food, drank good wine and loved many, many fast cars together. I'll remember the holidays in Ocala-Leesburg, family get-togethers, our horrible attempts at anchoring our boats, riding the Raleighs, Gatsby's crazy antics that made us love him so, "firm weekends", the angst of leaving the practice--and so much more. Thanks for always being there for me and for such good memories. I know your body is back to being 'blue-twisted steel' and that makes me happy.

Ross was a very special person; a loyal and steadfast friend, honest, ethical, fun and how he loved his cars! We were friends for 45 years. All of us in the Ft.Lauderdale area who knew Ross respected him and loved him. Ross was an inspiration as he battled his illness with such courage and optimism. He will be missed by his many friends, and especially, by those of us in Florida. When Ross moved to Nevada, it was our loss and your gain. Ross was a class act in every way. I'll miss his calls and most of all, his friendship.

We enjoyed meeting and getting to know Ross at Graham, Hodge, Larson & Hume in Fort Lauderdale starting in 1972 and until my husband left the firm in 1979. Ross was always such a gentleman and a truly classy guy. He was an inspiration to a young attorney. Our prayers go out to his family and friends.

We were co-workers in FL in the 70's, friends and both car enthusiest. I think he lived the life he wanted and I am so sorry that it ended in such a difficult way and too soon.

Ross, you will be missed here. I know if there are corvettes in Heaven you will be the one in the drivers seat.

A great loss. He was a good friend and a very special person.

Ross, I can see you now up in heaven, driving a gold trimmed white corvette convertable with that charming smile on your face and the wind blowing through your hair!!
It's been a true pleasure knowing you and you will be dearly missed!
