Ross was a good guy , he will be sorely missed . RIP Ross
I have so much respect for Ross.His front door was always open.Most of the people that walked through that door had some type of problem.Ross always accepted who you were.You could talk to him about anything and he would give you,in kind words,the best advice he could.Everybody that walked through that door knows what I’m talking about.There isn’t too many men left like Ross.R.I.P. My friend,Love Roger
My best friends Dad,
Mr. Bartlett used to sit down at a diner early morning eating his breakfast with the other “men and women of wisdom” so as I sat there with them, I hoped that helping of their wisdom was the best part of morning. I was proud to say I knew him, his family adored him, that was obvious. My heart hurts for those they feel lost today. God carried this great guy home.
Rest in peace , My best friends Dad……….Jill
R.I.P. ROSS YOU WERE A GREAT MAN IM GOING TO MISS YOU WAVING HI TO ME WHEN I WALK PAST YOUR HOUSE .
