Dr. Ross and I met several years ago when I came into the Paulding County School District. I introduced myself and told him that he had a great aura. What an understatement! I absolutely loved each and every interaction that I was blessed to have with him. I always walked away with a smile on my face and joy in my heart.  Dr. Ross had a strong desire to be kind to all and impart wisdom upon anyone who was smart enough to listen. His smile and laugh warmed the hearts of all who encountered him. 
I thank the family for sharing this awesome Man of God with us! We are all blessed to have known him. He will be missed dearly!

Kindest Regards,
DeeCarol


Dr. Ross (and can I share that many of us consider 'Doctor' his first name ), was a special man. He was a leader within Dobbins Middle School as well as within Paulding County School District. It would be a challenge to find someone who had not met him or at least heard of him within Paulding County.

On a personal level, I considered him a wise brother and a spiritual leader. We had many discussions over the years about faith, religion, and how we can show grace.  I always admired how he could quote scripture - his memory was AMAZING! I will miss knowing he will not be calling anymore to check on me and just to say hello. Just knowing he was a phone call away was a comfort when it became my turn to be the one who was the final decision maker. After I left Dobbins and later became a principal, he would sometimes show up at my school to check on me and to make sure everything was good. He somehow knew when I needing someone to lend an ear!

He was a school leader who had the highest of moral guide as he made some of the toughest decisions we have to make as leaders. He was respected by everyone, even when they disagreed with him or his decisions. I was blessed to be able to work alongside him as an assistant principal and work with him as he transitioned into his role as principal.

The wonderful support of the Paulding County School District as well as the community was something he appreciated and because of these relationships we will all miss him!
