Dear Heaman Family:
Please accept my condolences in your loss. I have often thought about Ross and I have asked his siblings about him from time to time. I always appreciated him walking into one of our farm auctions.
He kept things honest and I could never get ahead of him in the wisecrack department. He had a lot of experience and great stories. A fun character.

Extending my heartfelt condolences to you at this sad time. I worked for Filson Auctions and quickly became friends with Ross. He was quick witted and we enjoyed many laughs together. The one thing I will say is Ross was fair If he was bidding on equipment he knew his prices and would give a decent first bid. He loved a good chat and was always kind. Thank you for the memories Ross.
To Ethel , Gary and Carl so sorry to hear of Ross’s passing.

Sorry to hear of Ross’s passing. I worked with Ross in the early 80’s. He was a great mentor for me during the early part of my career with Bell Canada. Ross had a great sense of humour and we had some good times together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

I got to know Ross a little when we figured out that we were sharing some family connections. It was always a great conversation when we were able to have a visit. Ross was also one to tell it like it was, no sugarcoating. Sending my condolences to Ethel, Gary and Carl.
