I knew Ross personally from Air-Tite home products where he worked in his later years. He was a tremendous person and influence for Air-Tite and for us personally. He and Beverly were the only ones who attended our wedding celebration. We will miss Ross dearly, and all at Air-Tite send their condolences to Beverly and family. Thank you Ross for being a wonderful part of our life.

We will always remember Grandpa’s go with the flow attitude and how easily going he was. A smile comes to our faces everytime we try to picture him up in heaven – dancing around and eating tons of sweets!! Grandpa will truly be missed!
Kirk Becky Farley says
Ross always kept a positive attitude about his health & personal problems that probably helped him to overcome some of these tough issues over the years. He also had a sense of humor that kept him from concentrating on the problems that surrounded his health. We will miss his conversationalism and the way he “told it like he felt” attitude.
He will surely be missed by all.
Teona Wright says
Those who live in our hearts are always with us. So it is with Ross, who lived a full life, with a hearty sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye. As he passes from this physical life to his spiritual life, I pray he experiences all of God’s love and grace.
From Teona, a loving member of his extended family.
Bruce Rhiza Bennett says

My condolences to the family.
I’ve known the Bennett family when
they lived next door to us in
Glenbrook, Conn. Clarke was a dear
friend of ours who kept in touch with us when we moved to Calif.
Last we seen Ross was when he worked for Anthony Schools in Calif.
May his soul and all the faith-
fully departed rest in peace.
