Ross had many passions in life. He was a member of the Blue Grass Club, Race Director at the Sauble Speedway, he loved motorcycles and taught how to ride them at Georgian College, and he also loved water skiing. Ross could do it all! Construction, renos and small engine repair to name a few.
A private graveside service will be held at Greenwood Cemetery. A public celebration of Ross’ life will be held at a later date when we can gather in a safe setting. Arrangements are entrusted to the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, Owen Sound, 519-376-7492.
