Ugh Izzy, I´m so saddened to hear this sad news :( I have enjoyed Ross´s company over many years, between cutting his hair and as a friend and also as a fellow parent when you and Jade were at school together. So sad :( xx Belinda

It was sad to receive the news about Rossco . I have fond memories of Ross; first meeting him in Brisbane in November 1971 when we were working there in the university holidays. Ross and his mate (?) were unloading/loading water melons at the railway yards . A soul destroying job , but Ross as was his nature, made the job more than bearable through his humour.
Of course the Wellington and Rawhiti Room goings on were are a fun time and I still remember the letters on the number plate of his car-AH for after hours.
These are fond memories and I am sure you will miss him terribly.
Take care
