RICK and family i am sorry to hear of the loss of your father I always enjoyed talking to your father as he was a wealth of knowledge of BELLAIRE your father is another in a long list of good BELLAIRE people that have left us WALT MUKLEWICZ
Having been raised on Winding Hill and patronizing The Barn, I have known Mr. Ross for the major portion of my life. His stories interested and entertained me as much in the last few years as they did when I was a youngster. If I stopped by the store, whether I made a purchase, or not, I would spend a minimum of an hour visiting with him. I will, most certainly, miss those visits. My Wife and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Ross Family.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Charles Brooklyn Ross, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten.
My thoughts
and prayers to the family of ….
US Army Veteran, Charles Brooklyn Ross, is “A True American Hero” God Bless†
