Joann,
Ross was 1 year younger than his first cousin and my father Harrison Junior Lane (Junior). They were like brothers in the Norfork area along with my Uncle Dean, George and Bill. I was so amazed that Ross had road construction equipment when I was younger and the other jobs he had. He was always glad to see us when we traveled there and when we stayed with him and anytime we saw him he had so many stories to tell. I know that he was happy to share his life with you. He just seemed happy. I really enjoyed talking to him by phone for a couple of years in 2019. I am really glad that you were there for each other. I know he is in a good place.
