My condolences to the entire Ross family.  I had the great pleasure of working with Denny at Wilson for a year or so before he decided to retire from the business.  He always   had a smile on his face and a spring in his step, ever ready with a joke or story to tell.  So here's to you D Ross.....save some fried chicken for the rest of us.

Mary, Jeff, Robin, and families... We were so very sorry to hear about Denny, you are all in our thoughts and prayers...Take care.. Sam and Karen Randolph

I drove a school bus with Denny for only a short time. His contagious smile and compassionate nature were always abundant. He will be greatly missed. May your many happy memories help heal your hearts during this time.

My childhood flashed in my mind when I heard the news of Dennis passing.  He was my older (ornry) cousin when I was about 8.  Relatives told me how much he looked like my Dad who passed when I was just two and don't remember him.  I'm so grateful we got together for lunch last May when in Des Moines to share some memories and laugh together.  Enjoy your forever life sweet cousin!

My thoughts and my prayers are with you during this sorrowful time. I worked with Denny at the Bus Garage and he will be greatly missed by us all.

Mary, I am so sorry for your loss.  Thinking of you and your family and hoping you find peace!  God bless all of you!

We share your heavy heart in losing a truly wonderful man.  Our daughter Katie rode his bus and she truly looked forward to seeing him every day and sharing her favorite toys with him.  He truly was a one-of-a-kind guy who obviously cared about every child he crossed paths with.  We will miss him terribly, and want you to know how special he was to our entire family.  God bless his soul and may you find comfort from Him in your days ahead.    Robbie, Jenny, Katie, Rachel and Brittany Gray

Denny was the bus driver for my preschool class this year. He truly cared for all of the children, and their families.  Always going out of his way to make each child feel special.  He was one of a kind and will never be replaced.  We miss him already.

I rode on Denny's bus.he always gave kids on the bus treats and a dog on the route animal crackers and listened to storys that jack and timmy told. i will miss him.

Dear Robin and Jeff: Stef and I are so sad for you.  We have lots of fun memories to share of times with your Dad.
Love and God Bless You, Aunt Sac

We are so sorry for your loss. My Son rode his bus this year. He really liked Denny. He was a very kind man. We will miss him.

Grief can be so hard during the holidays, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one this holiday season.

Thinking of you, Mary!  May God be with you and give you peace knowing that he will reunite you both again someday.

This is in furtherance of the memory to a great guy and certainly, a "cool hand Luke." I always enjoyed his company and our conversations. Michael McMurry

My family is so very sorry to hear of Denny's passing. My children rode on his bus route, and we loved seeing him every day. RIP Denny.

We truly loved Denny!  What a great loving spirit!  He will be greatly missed!

Brad/Robin/Ashley/Colby/Tad, prayed for you wist Pastor Phil at 7 am this morning.

Our family shares with your grief that he is no longer with us and joy that he is with Jesus!

Doriano & Becky Rossi and Family
