Sorry to hear of this. I attended Crescent Fort Rouge United Church with the Dyker Family as a child. - Posted by: Charles Crossin (Crescent Fort Rouge United Church Congregant ) on: Apr 21, 2016

So sad to learn of Ross's passing. I'm glad to have had good chat with him last spring in Eddystone. I'm forever grateful to both Sylvia and Ross for opening their home for me during my U of MB days and honestly without Ross's encouragement and Sylvia and kids company - I would never have made it through those four years. Ross refused to let me get discouraged and went so far as to proof read my essays, double check my work, help me get summer jobs and come H or high water I was graduating! For that I owe so much gratitude. Though far away now those fond memories remain embedded forever. Love and condolences to Sylvia and family.
