Dawn and Family,
We offer our condolences to you at this sad time.
We do, however, remember so many happy times brought about, in no small part, by Ross’s warm, outgoing and, at times, zany nature. We’ll not forget his hand-over-hand rappelling of the eavestroughing on Uncle Bud’s Parkhurst house; his construction, along with Pat’s assistance, of innumerable , though ill-fitting, wooden window screens for the Wheatley farm house and his generous hosting of the family corn roast which Grandma Small so enjoyed, at Thorndale.
This has been a happier world for so many because Ross was a part of it.
