Ross was baptized as one of Jehovah’s witnesses May 15, 1971 and spent much of his time and energy helping others learn about Jehovah’s love and Jesus Christ’s Ransom.

Ross was the happiest when he was able to find ways to help others, be it fixing computers and cars or making a batch of his famous BBQ sauce and sharing it with friends and family. His sense of humor was well known. He loved making people laugh. We all have our favorite stories. He loved watching football, listening to the oldies, and playing games.
