Ross and I lived in the same neighborhood from ages 13 through high school and beyond  I had the biggest crush on him.  The strong silent type back then.  We never dated or anything like that we were just kids having fun together.  Looking back I wish it could have stayed that way forever.  What a wonderful era. Watching the AHS football games was so much fun.   All my memories of AHS are so warm and Ross was so loved there.

Ross...we became good friends in high school and even better friends through college and beyond. I think of you often...Dick

Mister quiet guy always work with you in his own way , one of the best athletes I have had the pleasure to play with. sorry didn't have a chance to see you at the last reunion.

 Ross was a natural athlete who always made the game more interesting with his sense of humor and search for athletic challenges.  Ross had "magic words" (Campanella, Bates) that would, if you believed in their powers, instill either good or bad luck in critical situations.  I still find myself using these words and thinking of Ross.  Ross also had a love for fishing.  We never caught much, but Ross always approached fishing as he did all sports, eternally confident of a "home run."

Ross was my first heart throb especially in the 5th and 6th grades at Cutter.  He was the strong silent type with fantastic athletic abilities and the best at the  school yard games.  By the 7th grade our paths were quite different, but I will always think of Ross with fondness and a smile.

Ross,Many years have passed but I am grateful for having you as a friend.  We spent many years playing sports at the Cutter School, Junior High West, High School and later in the Arlington Adult Softball League.  I was fortunate to have been one of the lucky ones to play on many teams with you over 25 years.  I always called you the "Rock" as you were the most solid reliable athlete I ever played with.  Through prep  school and college I never saw anyone with your skill set in multiple sports.  You could do it all and proved it on many occasions.I miss you and have shared many tears about you with Dianne.  She is so proud of you and misses you dearly.  You will always be with us and thanks for being there with us in some great games through the years.

I still recall one rainy day when our teacher at Cutter School asked Ross why he did not have a coat, and his reply was "I don't need one -- I won't get wet -- I run between the raindrops!"  I laughed then and have laughed often in the past 50 years as I recall that day.  He was a very nice boy -- even in high school.

We miss you Ross.The quick wit with a name for everyone that touched his circle of friends-from Dinky,Pew.Chas,Radish,Hago and a lot more,he was a fun guy to be around.Whether it was a pair of spikes,cleats or sneakers,Ross played the game on a higher level than the average ball player.We traveled together thru the West and AHS and I have many fond memories of the Summer St. baseball and hoop games with Leo and Ralph we played as kids.Take care my friend.  Hago
