Mary: Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Ross was a great guy and I always enjoyed our conversations over the years. Bonnie and I had planned to make it down for the visitation but are now attending to 3 families here, so it is impossible for us to get away. I last saw Ross in December when his brother Don passed away and really enjoyed our visit. I always admired Ross because he was truly a self-made man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

My favourite memory of Ross Nelson: Fifty two years ago, when Ross was 13, and in Grade 9, he took me to the Spring Prom. On the bus, somewhere between Chippewa Hill and Elsinore, he slid into the seat beside me, and asked, “Will you go to the Prom with me?” So, on the appointed evening, Ross looking handsome in his best suit, his older sister Marion, and her boyfriend, John Eby, picked me up and drove us to the south entrance of Saugeen DHS. We wandered around for a while, then Ross joined in a game of cards with some of the guys in a upper classroom, and I stayed close to the punch bowl to try and ward off the chicken pox.
It was a memorable evening, and we talked, and laughed, about it, whenever we met, over the years.
We will miss not seeing Ross, every now and then! Our deepest sympathy to Mary and Family, and to all the Nelson Family. Marilyn (McIntosh) & Ron McComb

Mary, Steve and Kim…We were very sorry to hear of Ross’ passing. We have many fond memories of our early years together in Bolton playing baseball, hockey and of course those fabulous neighbourhood golf tournaments. It was always a fun and challenging time playing catcher when Ross was pitching!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Love…Bob and June and the Sleigh family

Dear Mary & the Nelson family,
We were extremely shocked to hear of the passing of Ross. We have many fond memories of Ross from when I was employed at Durham Furniture and he took a busload of employees to a Blue Jays game and then took everyone to the plant for a tour.
The day didn’t end there. He invited the whole busload back to his home for a barbeque and a funtime. He had a genuine heart of gold.
He also invited us to your cottage at Little Go Home Bay, taking us on a tour of the water and then letting us spend some vacation time there. These are memories of a generous family we will never forget.
Ross was a sincere business man who I dealt with over the years when I was employed at Durham Furniture and now at Bogdon & Gross Furniture. I always looked forward to his weekly visits to the plant.
May your memories help ease the pain as you face some difficilt days ahead but know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Rest in Peace Ross. You have left a mark on our lives.
Sincerely,
Garry & Linda Lantz

I have not seen Ross since baseball days on the South Hill Selects but he was a good person and lots of fun. We did not win much but the joy was there every night. My condolences to all his family and he is remembered fondly.

Kim & Steve

My condolences to you both and your mother as well as your families on the passing of Ross.

I had the utmost pleasure of meeting Ross on a few occasions and enjoyed speaking to him. He was an honest and integral man. His word was his bond & he will be missed by all.

Your hearts will be heavy with him not hear anymore but take pleasure in knowing that no one can take away the memories you all have of him to get you through this tough time and for the years to come.
Cherish your families and keep a good balance in your lives.

Dear Mary and family,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Ross. I had the pleasure of knowing Ross when I worked at Durham Furniture and now Bogdon & Gross Furniture. He was a true friend and I always looked forward to his visits to the plant.
Our family has many memories of Ross, one being the time he took a busload of Durham Furniture employees to a Blue Jays game and then took us all on a plant tour and then back to your home for a barbeque. He was a very generous and kind man.
He also offered us your cottage at Little Go Home Bay so we could spend some relaxation time there. We truly enjoyed ourselves and it is something our family will always remember.
He has left a mark on our lives and may he rest in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you face some difficult days ahead.

Mary, I know you and Ross were such good friends to my Mom and Dad. I especially remember how kind and helpful Ross was to us after Steve passed away. My mom (Doreen Veres) recently passed away as well. I thought of you and Ross as I was going through photos this weekend getting ready for the service. This is the only way I know of to let you know.
