He will be greatly missed by so many friends, especially those who every week worked-out under the guidance of Traci Morgan and became known as Traci’s Tigers!
Ross graduated from Tri-State University, Angola, Indiana in Engineering and pursued a career in that field. His various jobs took him and the family out to Edmonton, London, and Mississauga then eventually settling in Burlington, Ontario for the next thirty years!

The family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and PSW’s of the Palliative Care unit at Joseph Brant Hospital for their care and compassion. We would also like to say a special thank you to Dr. Michael Mills, Dr. Jeffrey Lang and to Julie Riddle, Social Worker for all their support and guidance during this very difficult time!
