Walter J. Ross

ROSS, Walter J. Feb 18, 1928 – Dec 13, 2013 Walter J. Ross died peacefully on December 13, 2013 with his family at his side. Retired from Western Electric after thirty-four years, Walter was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to George and Margarite (McGary) Ross. He was stationed at Offutt Air Force Base when he met Laura Madsen, who would be Walter’s wife for more than half a century—they recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary! Walter was a gentle, devoted family man who loved to have fun. He enjoyed photography, woodworking and, especially, classical music. Imbued with a great sense of humor, Walter spent his later years joyfully passing on jokes via e-mail and searching YouTube for his favorite music. He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed. He truly was a “Wonderful Old Gentleman.” Walter is survived by his wife, Laura Ross; his children: Sandy Watson (Patrick), Randy Ross (Debbie), and Ron Ross; and five grandchildren. The family would like to thank the health care providers of Bergan Mercy Hospital for their compassionate care. A CELEBRATION of Walter’s life will be held Saturday, December 21st at 1:00 p.m. at the West Center Chapel. Private Interment will be at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery.
