1940-2023. Passed away after a short illness. Dearly loved husband and soulmate of Jan. Much loved father of Margot and Simon. Loved father-in-law of Peter. He was a friend, mentor and an inspiration to many. His love of life was infectious, every day was an adventure and he will be sadly missed. The support has been overwhelming, thank you to all. A celebration of Ross' life will be held in early August 2023 at Meadowbank Village, Auckland. All communications for the family to janj@xtra.co.nz
