Been a while but we have bumped into one another at different events and locations. When he came to Transcona, he immediately became one of the guys - respected, and a nice guy. Rest easy big guy, the game just ended. Look for me - Posted by: Bill Dubas (Worked at CNR together,played baseball with Ross,socialized with Ross,) on: May 19, 2018
