From the Arizona Daily Star:
Robert W. Ross 58, lost his valiant battle with cancer and passed away early in the morning Friday, August 15, 2008.
Robert, or Bob to almost
all who knew him, was born in Tucson in 1950, and had lived here his
entire life. Bob graduated from Sunnyside High School in 1968, after
which he served in the United States Marine Corp from 1969-1973,
attaining the rank of sergeant. In 1979 Bob began working for Tucson
Newspapers in the maintenance department as an electrician. He
continued to work there for 29 years, after taking over as manager of
maintenance department in 1985. Bob was a loving and loyal husband,
father, brother and friend to many. He loved, cared for and gave refuge
to many cats. He was an avid supporter of the Sunnyside Blue Devils
football program, and continued to follow the team even long after his
youngest son graduated. Bob enjoyed all forms of shooting sports. He
was a Life member of the NRA (endowment), as well as the Single Action
Shooting Society member, in which he was known as 'Bob Two Toes' or
'Brass Buzzard'. He also enjoyed working on all forms of vehicles, but
was particularly a Ford Mustang enthusiast. During his time with us,
Bob has touched many lives, and all who had the fortune of crossing
paths with him will greatly feel his loss. Bob is preceded in death by
son Kenneth Ross; mother Billie Elaine Bennett; stepfather C.F.
Bennett; father George Ross; stepmother Virginia Ross; nephew Paul
Hernandez; sister Nancy Bell. He is survived by wife, Kathy; sons, Sean
and David; grandson, Connor; granddaughters, Kendra and Deven; sisters,
Kathy (Joe) Hernandez, Deanna (Frank) Cermak; brothers, Walt Ross, Clay
Ross, Kenneth Michael Sanford, Marine Corp brother Mike Robinson;
numerous nieces and nephews plus many members of his extended family in
PA and MI along with our amazing Cowboy family and friends. A
celebration of his life will be held Saturday August 30, 2008 10:00
A.M. at South Lawn Mortuary & Cemetery, 5401 South Park Ave,
Tucson, AZ. Please make any donations to TMC Hospice or the Tucson
Hermitage Cat Shelter.
