Karen, Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the service. Ross was a great friend of Claudette’s and he made her feel very special and happy. Ross was a fixture in the family and will be missed. Remember the good times and don’t dwell on the troubled times. We know he is good hands and can join Claudette once more. Loved him and will miss him.
Condolence From: Carol and Brian Belchamber
Dear Karen, Wayne and Faye, and family,
Brian and I have many happy memories of time spent with Ross, Claudette, and Barbara in Ottawa on the occasions of their visits here to attend reunions with his war time friends. We enjoyed lunches with them, and shared stories of their experiences and ours. It was always fun. One time, Brian took Ross for a short spin on his motorcycle at the Canadian Aviation Museum, much to the delight of the bus load of Veterans.
We enjoyed his many visits to Zurich on Bean Festival day. Peach pie usually figured in the visit!
Ross was a fine man, one we are proud to have known and loved. Our deepest sympathy goes to you all. Sorry we aren’t able to attend the service in his memory, but will be with you in spirit.
Carol and Brian
Condolence From: Don & Charlene

God Bless
