Ross and I went through Bradley Elementary, North Bethesda Jr. High and Walt Whitman together. He was a wonderful person. I am sorry to learn of his passing.
It's so sad that it took this long for the news to reach us. So many of us remember Ross from our classes since Bradley days. Sending (belated) comfort to his friends and loved ones.
Ross and I lived a few houses away from each other and went all the way through Bradley Elementary and North Bethesda together. We were in cub scouts in third grade for a while, and had meetings at his house. We walked many a long mile to NB together, lugging our music instruments.That was a time. I wrote to him a few years ago, right after he joined the Whitman website. He didn't reply. Now I know why. The message is clear - reach out to your friends while you still can. Goodbye, Ross, you were a good friend.
Ross was an active participant in our Freshman English class where Mr. R encouraged us to share our thoughts. While not close friends, we frequently talked to each before and after class. Ross was a likeable, easy going people person. It is comforting to learn, from his obituary, how he lead such a rich life as a teacher, coach mentor, family man, friend of animals and active church member.
I look foreward to seeing you again, Ross, at the great Whitman reunion in the Sky.
I'm sorry to hear about his death. He seemed to have lived his life well and served the community. We are getting older but I had hoped that as a group we would be living longer.
