Tadoo Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 My Dad Ross loved the area and more importantly the people in the area of Lake Chapala..... after being there even for a short period of time I was able to see why he loved it so much. Sadly he passed away this afternoon. Some of his closest friends will be organizing a service for the end of the week before I bring him home to Canada, there will be a post with the details in the next day or so should anyone wish to attend.

moderator5 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I am so sorry. I would see him several times per week at Salvador's restaurant. He always had a smile on his face and was a joy to know. I and many others here lakeside shall greatly miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 He was always upbeat. And he was always passing out carmel candies-even to my dogs. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I will also miss him. He always put a smile on everyone's face as he handed out his candies. And, somehow, he always knew who he should approach like he was a reader of lost souls. May he RIP and may you find consolation in the number of us that he helped.

MtnMama Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I still have a few of Ross's candies at the bottom of my purse. I will miss his smile and his hugs and his joie de vie. A special soul has passed and we are all better for having known him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyface Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I never knew his name was Ross, but his smile was Sweet! and he made me feel about 5 years old, in the best way, when he handed me one of those good tasting candies. Bon Voyage to a nice man who spread happiness in our Lakeside community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 The first time the smiling man approached my friend and I and gave us each a candy I prepared for the pitch. Of course, there was none, just the smile and wishes for a good day. Then I noticed him stopping other people and how he left a trail of smiles behind him as he went. No matter what kind of day you were having he always brightened it with a smile and a piece of candy. He touched other people’s lives in such a simple way. It is sad that he is no longer among us. He is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
