Ross was one of the first people we met when we moved to Stonewall seven years ago. Meeting Ross confirmed to us that we truly found a home in a great community with caring people. I'll miss his insightful sports stories but most of all I'll miss him for who he was. A man who was passionate about everything he loved. Game on buddy! - Posted by: Vern Sabeski (Friend) on: Oct 03, 2013

I first met Ross when our sons Greg and Kevin played hockey together. We had many good times at out of town tournaments or at the local rink. Rossco always took the time to find out how you were doing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bev, Kevin and Kirsten. - Posted by: Darren and Brenda Zak and Family (Friend) on: Oct 02, 2013

I knew Robert from many years ago when we were very young. There where many family dinners shared by one and all. One of my fondest memories is of us walking through the wheat fields on our way to buy chocolate bars and pop. It was such a long time ago, but it feels like yesterday to me. Godspeed. - Posted by: Garth Wetherall (Family friend) on: Oct 02, 2013
