After retiring Ross stayed busy in many ways, he was always there to help and volunteer.  He was a very good handy man and enjoyed assisting friends and family with any and all projects.  He also was an active member of CPAAAN (Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association of Northglenn) for 20 years.  He made many friendships that continue.  He received several awards and recognition for his volunteer efforts with CPAAAN.

Ross enjoyed wood working, making many pieces of furniture over the years.  He tried his hand at making jewelry, primarily using silver and turquoise and made many beautiful pieces.   He also enjoyed playing cards; whether it was Bridge, Pinochle, Cribbage or many others games, he was always ready to play a game of cards.  Ross was someone who met everyone with a smile and in most instances a joke he had stored in his archive of jokes in his memory.  He loved to make people smile and laugh and be the center of attention.  Ross loved his family and will be missed. 

A  Celebration of Ross’s life will be held on Saturday, February 25th at 2 pm at the Horan & McConaty Family Chapel, 9998 Grant Street, Thornton, Colorado.
