My sincere sympathy for a life well lived. Ross was my first boss when I started working for him at the age of 16 and he taught me skills I would carry throughout my life and career. As time went on he also became a trusted mentor and friend to me that lasted through the years.
He was a great man, and will be deeply missed.

To Pat and family: It saddened us to learn of Ross’s passing. He was in business many years in Hensall and outside of Exeter and had a lot of repeat customers, because of the care he took in preparing his products. We were fortunate to have Veal’s Meat supply our store also. He was very crafted and could fix almost anything. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

Such a great guy to spend time with. Always a story. Always a sense of humour, a joke, an easy laugh. Fiercely proud of his family, rightly so. Respectful of others. Willing to share advice and lend a helping hand. Just a really wonderful guy to be in the company of. To have known Ross was our good fortune. We’ll miss the rascal !! Respectfully.
