In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to support his Grandson's youth hockey team. Just the day before his passing he was working the penalty box door at his game (with a smile on his face as they won 7-1). Ross literally NEVER missed a practice, game or you name it to have the chance to see him get on the ice. Checks can be made out to “Suburban Ice Rochester (09 Rattlers Black)” and sent directly to the rink at 52999 Dequindre Rd, Rochester, MI 48307, or given to a member of the family to get to the rink. Thank you for considering a donation.
