Sending Hugs & Prayers to Barb & all of Ross’s Family! He was loved & will be missed by many! 🙏❤️🙏
Ross never let cancer stop his smile and good will. I ran into him at Meijer after not seeing him at church for many years, he smiled and remembered me! God is receiving another angel. God bless his dear family and prayers go out for you all. 
Helping hands

In lieu of flowers

In lieu of flowers, consider a gift to Kobacker House.

I worked with Ross for the last 18 years at Ohio State and it was a great pleasure. He helped me with all kinds of problems and did all he could to make Ohio State a safer place for everyone. 

Any time he walked into a meeting it was a little bit better because when you chatted with him for a minute before or after, you knew that he had a quick story or joke that  would make you laugh. 

My deepest condolences to all of Ross's family and friends. 

My heartfelt prayers and deepest condolences to Ross' family. He was truly a blessing in this world and his love for you was magnificent.

My deepest condolences to the entire family.  Ross will be dearly missed at Ohio State.  He made such a impact and his loss is felt profoundly.  I am so very sorry.  My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.
Vicki & Family:  We are so sorry to hear of Ross's passing. He was a wonderful person and work colleague. We shared many laughs during the time working  together starting from the days we shared an office in Starling Loving Hall overlooking the James courtyard up to our days at EHS on Kinnear Rd. Our Thoughts & Prayers are with you during this difficult time.    Steven & Theresa Marsh
Ross was the great dad to the young ladies playing softball back in the day..a great father and husband!! RIP my friend!
I 've known Ross for over 15 years through working at OSU.  Every time I interacted with Ross, it always involved us sharing a few laughs, no matter the situation we were in.   Ross also loved to talk about his family, and it was evident that he was very proud you all.  My prayers and condolences are with you all. 

Donna and I were deeply saddened by the loss of Ross. While he first entered my life as my hiring manager at OSU, he quickly became a cherished friend, touching us both with his humor, kindness, and unwavering generosity.

Maya Angelou said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Ross has made a lasting impression on us, and we will always remember his warmth and compassion.

Please know that our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with your family during this time.

This will always be such a sp…

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the peace that you seek. Ross touched so many of our lives and will truly be missed.
My deepest condolences to Ross's family and many friends.  My work days were better with Ross in them.  RIP Ross!  Your humor, enthusiasm and smile will be missed here at OSU.  
It is fortunate, I had the privilege to know him. He is a one of a kind person.  A mentor to many, he and Vickie raised a wonderful family.  
I pray for strength to your family and friends. I wish I had met Ross he seems like an incredible man. Vickie, much love to you my dear friend if there is anything you need please reach out. Hugs and love. 
Thoughts and prayers for the entire family!  Love you Vickie ❤️
I'm sorry for the loss of Ross. We grew up in the same neighborhood, and had allot of the same classes together.  Rest in peace. 
Ross and I have been friends our entire lives. I will miss him. Fly high Ross!🩷
My condolences to Ross's family. Ross offered me the opportunity to come onto his team at Ohio State with a promise that I could be the father and husband that I aspired to be. A father and husband who was constantly present. The way he was at Ohio State. Ross would express to me how surprised he was by the amount of people who reached out to him during his illness and I would tell him that it is nothing more than a reflection of the impact that he had on everyone’s lives. I was one of those people. Ross you will be dearly missed and always appreciated. Rest easily.
