Sheila and Dwight Finlay - April 29, 2022

Thinking of everyone. So many fond memories. I so remember Uncle Ross's laugh when he would beat you card players! He loved that. I remember eating dinner ( probably Christmas or Uncle Ross's Birthday ) and we were having pie and Uncle Ross saying "Ivynne we need ice cream" Aunt Ivynne jumping up and getting the ice cream for him. He loved his pie and ice cream. They will be sharing their pie together now again. So glad he didn't have to suffer long. I know it will feel like a big void for all of you. Thinking of you with Love Sheila

Murray Molenaar - April 29, 2022

RIP Ross. You always had a smile and looked forward to growing your garden. My thoughts are with all the family. I am sure your beloved wife greeted you with open arms.

Keri Speechley - April 28, 2022

My Daughter and I used to enjoy seeing Ross at Tuesday night bingo at the Golden Plough while my mom was there. He always greeted us with a smile and would go out of his way to say hello to us and even share his chocolate bars when my daughter didn't win, cause he was always winning. My condolences to his family, he will be remembered fondly.

Roy Foster - April 28, 2022

Sorry to hear that Ross has passed. I worked with him at the MTO many years ago, he was funny and very knowledgeable. In later years we got together again when he and Murray came to the Welcome store for coffee almost every day. I miss those conversations. RIP ROSS.

Marg and Ken Eggleton - April 28, 2022

So sorry for the loss of your dad. I only met him a couple of times but the stories shared by Wayne and his sister reminds me of how your dad has made you who you are today. Your dad has left you with many fond memories to share. Thinking if you at this time.
