Visited Ross and Pat Memorial Weekend. They are
resting in peace. Ross the cemetery looked good for you.
Grass was mowed like you kept it.

Still miss my old friend. Last visit to see me and pick up our big snow blower that I knew I couldn't operate
after Bill's passing. Sorry Angie and I couldn't visit him and Pat this year. Trips in future we hope. Miss them both and our good times. Was a surprise to know that Bill was there for his funeral as a spirit pallbearer.

Ross and Pat were our friends forever. Ross and I attended Grade school and High school. Ross was a better student than I, he helped me pass Algebra and told me I was the most unknowledgeable person he ever tried to help with numbers. Thanks Ross!!!!! I can balance a Checkbook thanks to Ross!!!1 Ross was a good softball player and he helped me when I was pitching. Our big victory was defeating Knoxville 9-0 yea!!!! and we still celebrate that win. When Ross came down to visit a couple years ago he wanted to find some rocks to add to his collection, NOW THATS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE OZARKS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN YOUR EYES!! Ross found what he was looking for and seamed pleased with his possessions.

Ross and Pat were our friends forever. I have some wonderful memories of Ross as we attended Grade School and High school together. In High School Ross helped me pass Algrebra and told me not to do anything with numbers as he thought I was the most unknowledgeable person he ever tried to mentor. Thanks Ross!!!! Iam still not good with numbers but I can balance a Checkbook.Ross loved rocks and when he visited me a couple years ago we went below Bagmal dam@ Lake Ozark and he found just what he was looking forto add to his collection. Ross was a really good Softball player and helped me out when I was pitching. Our big victory was defeating Knoxville 9to zero YEA!!!!! I'll never forget my Old friend and will keep him in my prayers and hopefully join him someday.

Thanks to Brenda for calling me. The tears just came saying good bye to a dear old friend. He missed Pat so much as we did and now they are together again. I asked myself why had I not called him in recent weeks. Just get too busy and regret will remain with me. I hope he gets to wear and take his Cubs cap with him. Will try to make it to one of the services. S
