Message from Carol & Peter Almond August 29, 2024

It is with deep sadness that we remember this great man. He was our best man 56 years ago in Montreal. Ross and Peter had many stories to tell when he worked with CNR. He was a wonderful kind man that would give anyone his last dollar. We were so happy that we were able to see him several times this summer but the last one was the hardest to see this man incoherent after he lived such a great life filled with love laughter grandkids his children and his wife Laura who loved him so deeply. Our deepest sympathies to you all and just know that now he suffers no longer. God will give you all the strength that you need to get over this great loss, remember all the good times and laughter you shared and we know there were many of them. RIP Ross!
