Dick Ross

Dick was loved by everyone who knew him. He was kind and usually had a smile while telling you that you were "good good good." He loved singing, listening to music, playing checkers, cards and bingo, eating sweets, working at the shop and worshiping God. Even as a disabled adult, he was able to touch people's lives. Thanks to all the caregivers for their dedication and the care given.

There are no services planned at this time.

Arrangements are by McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center.
