To Delmo Ross Family: We are so sorry to hear of Delmo's passing. He has braved so much to keep going and doing things, when he didn't feel lik it.

Mr. Ross was the sweetest man I ever knew. He was my bus driver from kindergarden to high school. Then I ran into him at the cancer walks, we both had cancer. Then again I saw him at St.Mary's Hospital where I was working. Each time I seen him it was like old times. Always greeted with a hug and " He always said, Hi Dee, how are you and your twin?" He never forgot about us on Grapevine Road. He would ask about all the kids that grew up on our road. I know such a wonderful man will be deeply missed. Love and prayers to his family whom he was so proud of and spoke very highly of.
