With profound sadness the family wishes to announce the passing of Ross in Winnipeg with his family by his side. Ross was born in Lethbridge where he took his grade school and when the family moved to Powell River, he took his high school there. Ross graduated from the RCMP and retired after 5 years as sergeant.
Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, Betty Ann, his children, Stacey (Graeme) Hay, and David (Mystie) Wood and his beloved grandsons Evan and Alex Hay. His mother Lee McColl and sister Laura and Kathryn and their children. Brother in law and sisters in law in Winnipeg. He was predeceased by his father Glen Reed Wood and his in laws Harry and Betty Ann Tordon. Ross will be remembered for his easy smile sense of humour and his dedication to the safety of the general public. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Gone, but not forgotten.
