One of his main pleasures in life was his service and love of his family. He was a compassionate person who was always there to lend a helping hand to everyone.

Ross was an exemplary man who was good humored, hard working, disciplined and kind hearted. The love, strength and affection he gave his family and friends will be in our hearts forever. He will be greatly missed and remembered always.

We send a special thanks to his family, friends, Vitas Hospice and Terry Reynolds, an exceptional Vitas caretaker, who helped in many ways with his care these two last years.
