ROSS KIRK

Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• I first met Ross when I transferred in to replace him at BNS Balmertown Ontario. He gave me a crash course in consumer lending before he moved on. As others note, he struck me as very reserved and particular. We met years later briefly in Winnipeg and I was always glad to see him. Sorry for his family’s loss. He was truly a gentleman. - Posted by: Bob Beavis (Co-worker) on: Nov 18, 2023

• I had the privilege of working with Ross at the WCB. He was a brilliant man who took incredible pride in his work and in making sure things were done correctly. He had the most incredible whit and wonderful smile when you could finally get him to crack one. I will always remember him in the lunch room getting his cup of soup ready every day and sharing a joke. He had a kindness that I will always remember. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and am sending warm thoughts of peace to his family and friends. Rest well Ross - truly, we lost one of the good ones. - Posted by: Michelle Brunette (Co-worker) on: Oct 03, 2021

• In his youth he was a very cool, good looking in a rock star way bass guitar player. Fun person to have known. My Thoughts and prayers are with his extended family. - Posted by: Linda Anderson (Friedan) (Friend) on: Sep 13, 2021

• Ross and I have been friends since high school when we played together in the Sceptres, a 5 piece rock band. Ross was the coolest guy in the band, by a long shot. And very musical, too. He had a life long love for music of all kinds, but it all started with Bill Black's Combo, the Ventures and early rock guitarists. Over the years we all kept in touch no matter how far apart we may have lived. He was a kind, thoughtful and loyal friend. - Posted by: Ron Lowe (Friend) on: Sep 11, 2021

• So sorry to hear about the passing of Ross. He was truly a special person. I very much enjoyed working with him. He was a serious and detailed oriented person which meant that he would take additional time to ensure he had all necessary information to make proper decisions with regards to his work. I knew I could always count on him to find information related to various topics previously discussed or documented. May you Rest In Peace 🙏 - Posted by: Anne-Marie Belisle (Former coworker) on: Sep 10, 2021

• So saddened to hear about Ross. I worked with and was always within earshot of Ross for a couple of decades at WCB. My condolences to his family. He was a quiet, private man of impeccable character. I very much appreciated his kindness, assistance and camaraderie. Ross was very witty and shared many anecdotes with me over the years. I will remember him fondly and continue to recite his many jokes and repeat his gestures that always made me laugh. I know he will be missed. - Posted by: Lorelei Wojcik (Former Coworker) on: Sep 10, 2021

• I am so sorry about Ross. We worked together at the WCB for many years and he had a special place in my heart. We had many conversations about football, especially when the Bombers were playing the Riders, so I will take a moment this weekend to remember him fondly. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Jennifer Willems (Former Coworker) on: Sep 09, 2021
