I was aware of Ross's illness through his great friend Dale Pinke. My friendship with Ross originated at Ottawa Tech High School in 1954 where we played baseketball together and continued on in later years on the original Ottawa Sooners football team. A very sincere and caring gentleman. Please accept my sympathies.

My memories of Ross go away back to the 60's when he was in the Marine's and stationed in N.C. We used to talk on the phone and I would visit with his Mother. When he came home we hung out to-gether with Stu and some others. In later years I would run into him at Billings Bridge Plaza and we would have some good laughs about our teenage years and the fun we had. I have often thought of him and knew he was ill and am sorry to hear of his passing. My symphathy to all the family. Rest in Peace, Ross
