• Ross always brought smiles to one's face. - Posted by: Claude Scott (Friend of family) on: Sep 13, 2021

• Ross was a very special friend to many and my late husband Joe and I were very fortunate to have enjoyed Ross's friendship over many years. We have such special memories of boating on Lake of the Woods with Ross and Lynn, exploring all the lake had to offer, playing Uno in the evening and drinking gallons of coke, and Ross declaring us to be the Uno champions of LoW. Also holidaying in Mexico where Ross blended in with the locals with his dark tan. He was a kind and generous person and after meeting a Mexican who had lost a leg Ross on return to Winnipeg sent the man a prosthesis. Not many can claim that they gave someone a leg. Ross had a wonderful sense of humour and never failed to provide us with heaps of laughter. A person like that lives in our hearts forever. I can picture Ross and Joe having one heck of a reunion on the other side. Hasta la vista dear friend. - Posted by: Judy Vielgut (friend) on: Sep 10, 2021

• I was so sad to hear about the passing of Ross. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Lynn, the Noble family and all his friends. Ross was not a big man in stature but he was a giant of a man. I met Ross through work. He became my boss at Anderson House, but it was impossible not to become friends with such a caring, open and fun loving person. Few people have the capability of changing the course of a persons life but Ross did just that for me. He showed confidence in me and lifted me up when I was down. He was a friend and a mentor. He taught me that as a business owner if you think that someone is a good worker you reward them before they ask. Its more meaningful then if they have to ask. He taught me so much more but this is with me every day as it is a life lesson that spans many situations. Ross you will be missed Sue - Posted by: Susan Riediger (Friend and co-worker) on: Sep 08, 2021

• My sympathies to Lynn, Shannon & Shauna on the passing of my friend Ross. Though I hadn't seen him and his family for many years I remember all the summers we had together at Laurentia Beach, out in the water in the boats, the wrestling matches in his parent's yard with his brothers Claude & Jerry. Then later in Lake of Woods with the sea-doos and many more memories I will never forget. Donald (Magila) - Posted by: Donald Mourant (friend from Laurentia Beach) on: Sep 07, 2021

• Ross and I grew up on Chalmers Avenue for the first ten years of our lives and were the best of friends. We kept in touch with each other for several years after his family moved to Salter Street and we moved to St. James. Then we met again in Charleswood where we had both settled down with our families. He was a most affable and gifted man. He moved to Alberta and we lost touch with each other. His parents were very kind to me and treated me as one of their own growing up in Elmwood. My sincere condolences to his family. - Posted by: Frederick Ross (friend) on: Sep 07, 2021

• Lynn and Family, It is with heavy heart that we hear of the passing of Ross. I have very many many fond memories of him as a neighbour and good friend. Working together on many projects. And spending time at the Lake of the woods. My condolences to Lynn and family. Jim and Pat - Posted by: Jim Suderman. (Long time friend ) on: Aug 29, 2021

• My sincere sympathies go out to Lynn, Shannon and Shawna. My memories of Ross (and Lynn) go well past 50 years when Jerry and I were first dating. Ross had a quick whit and was always willing to share it. From their first home on Inkster (where I became engaged in your kitchen) to the four of us being neighbours on the same street in Tyndall Park, both Ross and Lynn were a major part of our lives. In every home there was a wrestling ring set up in the basement for Ross and Jerry to "compete" for dominance. If Ross ever got his hands around Jerry's neck, he came out the winner every time. As years passed and we drifted apart, Ross and Lynn to Calgary and me to Vancouver Island, distance can't erase the fact I will always hold in my heart the fond memories I had of Ross and his great sense of humour. Much love to Lynn and I hope you hold your precious memories in your heart to help you through this trying time. Much love and kisses, Joanne (Auntie Jo) - Posted by: Joanne (Noble) Swain (sister-in-law) on: Aug 28, 2021

• so saddened to hear of Ross's passing. Shirley and I spent many happy days on Lake of the Woods with Ross and Lynn. A man with a great sense of humour and quick wit making it hard to put anything over on him without a quick witty comeback. We will miss you Ross. Rick and Shirley Engstrom. - Posted by: Rick Engstrom (Friend) on: Aug 28, 2021

• My condolences to Lynne and the Noble family. Ross was my neighbor at The Lake Of The Woods. For many years. In later life as it happens we went different ways, me to Florida and Russ and Lynne to Alberta. He will be missed. Brian and Mimi - Posted by: Brian Maguire (Good friend ) on: Aug 28, 2021

• Lynn, Shannon and Shauna. My sincere sympathy on the loss of your husband and father and our great friend. Ross was a wonderful, helpful and handy neighbour on Lake of the Woods, a fun guy to be around. We had some great dinner parties and he always had lots of fun stories to be shared. He will be missed by everyone but we all have wonderful memories. - Posted by: Sue Heim (Friend/neighbour) on: Aug 28, 2021
