Ross had 4 Foster children with World Vision that he sponsored for 25 years and proudly supported the Leprosy foundation. His kindness and generosity was felt by all that knew him. When a person was feeling down Ross always had a smile to pick-up their spirits. Ross drove truck and was a Foreman for the Department of highways for fifteen years. He later worked for the City of Fort St. John until his retirement at the age of sixty-nine. Ross and Billie moved to Rose Prairie in 1984 and when he wasn’t working he was in the garden.
