Great guy Great teacher

Mr. Ross was one of the best people I've known and certainly the best high school teacher I had - and I had many good teachers. Mr. Ross was special though - he saw that I was this lost, bored 16 year old kid with potential and offered me encouragement and hope; he lent me books from his personal library in an attempt to keep me engaged - his influence and belief in me kept me going that year. I stayed in touch with him for a while when I was working on my undergraduate degree, running into him at my younger brother's freshman football games. I thanked him then for his help and kindness. I hope he knew what a difference he made. I feel very fortunate to have known him. Sincere condolences - he was a wonderful teacher and mentor. Terri Vlasak

I really enjoyed Mr Ross in class. He was as true man through and through. Jeff hugill class of 1983.

Ross family, I am sorry for your loss. Pete was my teacher, my cooperative teacher when I student taught for him and my friend. He lived across the way from my parents condo in Cherokee and I went and saw him many times. I learned a lot from him.
