The following are some of the emails we have received
regarding Ross:
Ross was well liked and respected. Members' comments
about his death have first been shock and then recognition of his generous
nature. Always ready to help and encourage. His photography was art and it
inspired many to enjoy the adventures of hunting. He had a wonderful sense
of humor and was a true gentleman and sportsman.

I am a member of the CCRCA, and have Curlies. I just met Ross for the
first time last year at the specialty in Wisconsin. I have been
reading his posts on email lists, and enjoying the pictures he shared
for several years. When I met him I found him to be such a wonderful
guy, friendly, up-beat and ready to pitch in and help with
EVERYTHING!! He will be sorely missed by the Curly-Coated Retriever
club, as I'm sure he will be missed by many of you. I was so shocked
to see the post regarding his death.
My thoughts are with his friends and family.

When Hank and I met Ross and joined Sand and Sage, we had an Irish Water
Spaniel and an American Water Spaniel. That put us with Ross as the only
current members with "off breed" retrievers. We trained together many
times over the years, and Ross was always observant, helpful and
supportive, even when pointing out problems. We never had to apologize for
the quirks of our "off breeds," and he had many good ideas for training
them. Among many memories, I will always see him smiling and hear him
saying, "let's hear it for the curly dogs!"
