Born in raised in Albany, John attended Albany High and went on to work in the transportation industry as a taxi dispatcher for many years. John truly enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest, every day. He loved spending his days at OTB, going to A.A. and being surrounded by family and friends. But most of all, John was a doting father to his two daughters, Katherine Clark and Casey Ann. Anyone who knew John, aka "Wimpy," knew he had a heart of gold.

John is survived by his two daugthers, Katherine and Casey; and two brothers, David Ross and Vincent Ross. He will also continue to be loved by his cousins, many great nieces and nephews, and especially adored by his caretaker, Cristal J. Ramundo. In addition to his parents, Edward J. Ross and Dorothy P. Ross, John will be reunited in heaven with his baby sister, Susie; and his wife, Stacey Ann McGuinness. Calling hours will be held on Thursday, January 20, from 5-6 p.m. at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 343 New Karner Road, Colonie.
