his infant son Stephen Ross, brothers-in-law Paul Cudmore, Vince

MacCulloch, Ray Hunt, and Stephen Pond; sister-in-law Linda Graham and

most recently his cousin and close friend William Brown. He is survived by

his loving wife of 54 years Jane (Graham) Davison; daughters Carolyn (Al

Cooper, Hammonds Plains, NS, and Susan (Jason) Ragaisis, Nepean, ON;

A graduate of Dalhousie University Medical School in 1967, Ross returned

to his hometown of Kensington where he carried out his family practice

career for 34 years. He served as coroner for Prince County for several

years and was affiliated with the Prince County Hospital where he served

on a number of boards and committees. He also served as a member of

the board of the College of Family Physicians of Canada. He was a

long-time member of the United Church of Canada where he had served as

an elder. In his leisure time, he enjoyed spending time with family,

long-distance swimming on the north shore, beachcombing, photography,

playing the piano and organ, and holding people captive with his many

stories. He will be remembered fondly by his grandchildren for his love of

chocolate cake, milkshakes, genealogy lessons, and hosting an annual

summer family reunion at his beloved cottage “The Cove”.

A service to honour his life will be held at Bedford United Church on

October 15 at 11:00 a.m. This service is open to the public, noting that

COVID 19 protocols will be in place. A live stream will be available on the

Bedford United Church Facebook page. Interment will take place October

Hospital Foundation.
