Buggar,

Served with him as a Mech and after he went SD. He was one of those rare breeds that still remained a gentleman. I can honestly say I never heard anyone say a bad word about him.

A sad loss to his family and to society.

RIP

Sad to see Ross has left this life so early. Served with him when he was a Lieutenant at Nirimba and he was a decent bloke.

Vale, Ross.

Gonna miss the bugger immensely - my boss in JERVIS BAY - a great bilge rat and a truly loyal mate (unlike pussers these days). Keep smiling Roscoe . . .

I first met good old Ross in 2002 when he visited STUART.

Last saw him in 2005 at Level 4 MHQ when we held a fairwell 'smally eats' for his retirement. He passed away not long after.

Kicks you in the gut when you hear of these things, especially when you know them.
