This has to be the same Ross I shared comic books with back in our elementary school days at F.W. Howay in New Westminster. I remember Ross very well, and over the years I have often thought about him. He was a decent, gentle soul. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Ross,,
I wish we had kept in touch. The short time time we knew each other, while we worked at Big White , you left a lasting impression.. i still chuckle thinking back to how you used to refer to me as the boss. It was you who got me to drink a good Cabernet Sauvignon, even though I swore I would never touch red wine again. ☺️ To your family, I met Ross when I worked at Big White ski resort. He was the massage therapist there. I worked the front checking desk during the day and at night the desk where he did massages. We had such a special bond in the short time we knew each other and I will forever cherish the moments and time we had together.
