Dr. Rosser and his wife have been our neighbors since 1986. They have both been enormously kind to my son as he has grown up roaming through the neighborhood. Dr. Rosser was a gentleman of the highest caliber and I was always so happy my son knew a man like that. I will greatly miss our chats as he took his walks up and down Brentwood. Dr. Rosser taught me something every time we talked!

When my mother passed away nearly six years ago, Dr. Rosser called the house to offer his condolences. With that, he shared nice memories of my mother's work as an RN at Wuesthoff... (I thought) what a class act. And a real gentleman. He and Mrs. Rosser also attended my mother's wake. I am sorry for your loss, but at the same time I sit here smiling of the thoughtful gesture shown some six years past to me and my family. God Bless.

Dr. Rosser was a kind, gentle "old fashioned" doctor who will be missed. He and Mrs. Rosser made you feel welcome and put you at ease when you needed his medical care.
May the years of happy memories bring peace to the Rosser family at this time.
Sincerely, Ruby Hooper
