Thinking of you Mr.Ross, you are such a wonderful kind hearted man. My life is better because of our friendship.

Joyce, my heart is with you. I´m so sorry for your loss.

Alex and Kevin, what a blessing you both are and the apple of your father´s eye. You are his greatest treasure. You were both what he seemed to be most proud of.
My love and my heart are here for you.

Your father was and is a great man.

I'm just heart broken about you. We had some great times together . I will remember all the wind, going to Indians games, going to Stan Hewlett for many events. You were a true friend. You loved going to Little Italy. God Speed, I will miss our chats. Love Debbie

Roscoe, I've thought of you every time I drove through Mogadore. I wondered if you were the football coach getting all the people living there to hyped up about it. I'd read all the signs posted on the poles through town. It seemed to be a nice place to live. I hope you were happy there. I know you will be happy in paradise. Hope to see you there soon. In the meantime, rest peacefully. I love you.
