Ross Witteveen
With sadness we announce the passing of Ross Witteveen on July 22. Ross was a good friend to many who shared countless cups of coffee with him and his wife and Mary (Vander Veen). Our sympathy goes out to Mary and his children, Nick and Katie and his sister Lee. We all share so many good memories of this gem of a man!
His obituary can be found here.
