He was born and raised in Warsaw. He was married to Brenda Leedy Ross, his wife of 30 years, who survives.
He graduated from Warsaw High School in 1954. After high school, he went into the U.S. Navy-Underwater Demolition Team, and was a Korean War veteran. He was a graduate of AIT in Chicago.
He returned to Warsaw in 1967 with Sun Metal. He retired from Zimmer in 1994. He moved to North Webster and lived on the lake where he loved being on the water. He was a loyal attendee of the United Methodist Church, North Webster, and was an active member of the Class of 1954 alumni board.
He was loved by all who met him. He loved to laugh and talk to friends as well as strangers. His hobbies included fly fishing and golf. He loved his grandkids and looking through the family album books he got every Christmas from Robin. He will be missed terribly by his family and friends.
He also is survived by his five daughters: Debra Ross Marvel, Fort Myers, Fla.; Kim Ross (and Dan Turner), Atlanta, Ga.; Robin Ross (and Wit Truitt), Marietta, Ga.; Julie Ross Heckaman (and Casey Shepherd), Claypool; Shannon Ross (and Paul Bartels), North Webster; 12 grandchildren; and one great-grandson.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no services or calling.
