Deepest sympathy to Janice and boys.
I was saddened to learn of Ross's passing. A wonderful person, whom I admired. One memory of Ross, is when he skipped our winning team at the prestigious Hokonui Two Day Fours in 1997, with Paul Kincaid and the late Pete McGifford.
Will be greatly missed. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
