Obituary for Gerhard John Ross
Ross, John (nee Gerhard Jan Ros)
August 22, 1926 to March 29, 2017
Died peacefully in Kemptville, Ontario after a long battle with cancer. Survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Luisa, and adoring children John, Jackie (Chris) and Maria (Doug). As well as his grandchildren Cuinn, Duff, Peter, Lucy and Ivy, and his siblings Benny and Annie. Predeceased by siblings Wilhem, Henny, Bethos and Truida. John was born in Winterswijk, Holland to a large farming family. He immigrated to Canada in 1948 and attended universities in Guelph and Michigan, eventually earning a Ph.D. in Soil Chemistry. He worked as a soil scientist for the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa until his retirement, when he moved to Kemptville. John was a sweet and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He pursued his passions for nature, gardening and scientific learning until his last days. We will always remember his gentle spirit, open-minded attitude, kind humour, and respect for all living creatures. Wherever John lived, trees were planted. May he rest in peace. Friends are invited to visit at the Kemptville Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville on Thursday April 6, 2017 from 5 pm to 8 pm.
