JOHN J. B. SANTORELLI ROSS Born March 5, 1970, in London, England. Passed away July 28, 2016, in Rorketon, MB. Our gentle, big hearted son, stepson, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend has quietly left the room. What sweeter gift than to curl up in your bed and shed all of your human discomforts and limitations. Heart disease claimed this dear soul. For the greater portions of his life he worked in hotels and bars and lived in Winnipeg. He had many close friends. Often he was an anchor for others who were hurt, abandoned, scared or lonely. He was a solid "go to" guy. The messages of support, encouragement, sorrow and concern have been overwhelming. Jason and I (Kathi or "Mom") know some of you very well and others not so much. We would like to draw you together with our family and friends. It would be great to hear about "your" experiences with our funny, sometimes outrageous, big guy and we will reveal some lesser known truths .... Celebration of Life will be Thursday, August 11, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. at Polo Park TYC Event Centre, corner of St. Mathews and Empress. No early arrivals please. Light buffet provided.
