It's with great sadness that I announce the passing away of a dear friend Ross Smith.No doubt some of you guys will remember him from when he attended Euro over the years.Will be missed big time!

I'm sorry to hear of your loss Brian, I didn't know Ross, but I hope your friend will remain close in your thoughts.
 
Ross was one of the good guys and will be sadly missed. Quite a few of us were rather shocked when we heard the news from Brian and I think we all feel that sadness Brian mentioned.
Rest easy old friend!

Anyone who knows / knew / avoids or points at and laughs at our wee Scots group will have seen Ross.
He was a serial attender at Euro up until 2 years ago when his health began to make the journey a bit more of a challenge.
He was great company, witty and a very knowledgeable and passionate contributor to our often 'freestyle' conversations.
Where the rest of us usually just grabbed anything to wear that was 'cleanish' out of the laundry basket as we headed off to Folkestone, Ross was always immaculately tricked out, favouring the 'white hunter' look of Rohan products from top to toe.......he would wear jackets that cost more than my car :happy:
Much classier than the rest of us he enjoyed his creature comforts and again favoured the en-suite luxury of the Clifton. Seriously though although he never laboured it, his health presented challenges that would have 'floored' most of us and was fully engaged in the battle right up to the end.
Like the others I will miss the man.

Ross and I often discussed some of the more amusing threads on the planet, this was one of our favourites......have a look and a wee smile, we did.

Only met Ross Twice and took an instant liking to him ,a true gentleman .
Will be sadly missed at our little get togethers at Davies place .

Mind you he could be a real bugger in an argument :happy: I'm delighted to say.
About 15 years ago Ross gave me a full set of the Pheonix Lindisfarne viking set he painted.
They are beautifully painted in the '70's Hinchcliffe style' and are a superb example of the style of the time.
These are now all the more treasured.
