Ross spent most of his life not only serving his country, but serving his family as well. Although only 3 of the children above are of his own blood he had so much love to give that he unselfishly adopted two more in the course of his life. As a father he has guided his children to the best of his ability and has always been The Rock and the constant in their lives regardless of what life has thrown at them. He never hesitated to help someone in need, whether family or friend. Ross touched the lives of everyone he met. He leaves behind a legacy that we proudly embrace and are blessed to have shared. Pop's will be greatly missed but will always be with us in spirit as he continues to guide us through our challenges as well as smile upon us as we go through this journey called life. |
