I met Ross when he and his new found love,my sweet friend Dale,included me in their adventures "ratting" around the French Quarter. Although time and miles have separated us, I can see him still...young, always laughing, free spirited, and hopelessly in love with "his Dale". Rest in peace Ross.

He never looks for praises
He's never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He's there a firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call DAD.

Love you Ross...Gonna miss you Ross.

We were fortunate to have Ross design our home in 2004. He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with. Our beautiful home carries his mark everywhere, and has been a happy place from the groundbreaking then till today, ten years later. May you all find comfort in your happy memories and pride in a wonderful man.
