RIP Ross Butlin

[Ness70Nova]

Hi All

I unfortunately have to be the bearer of extraordinarily terribly sad news this afternoon. 

Our dear friend Ross lost his battle with cancer this morning at 10am at home; it thankfully was a peaceful passing.

The tentative details for the funeral are as follows:
Monday 6 January 2020
Forest Lawn Memorial Park
Camden Valley Way
Time: afternoon has been requested

Now is the time to come together and celebrate the life of our friend and be there for Cheryl and the Butlin family.

So sad to hear the news our thoughts and prays go out to Cheryl and the family

I didn’t know Ross as well as many others here, but I do know that my interactions with him were always filled with some fun and humour. Always on for a chat and a yarn about cars, he was a genuine guy that told it like it was. He will be missed by all in the club.

As I posted this I realised how apt my profile quote is regarding Ross.

How tragic, but were pleased Ross & Cheryl had some quality time at their new Bargo 'ranch' before this insidious disease struck. They also got to see their new grandchild & celebrated their daughter's wedding in their new extension.
Our deepest sympathies go to Cheryl & family with the sad loss of our brave mate Ross. We will miss your great personality and wicked sense of humour.
Bob and Susan.

Bren, Kel, Arthur, Adam & I were so sorry to hear this news earlier today. Ross & Cheryl gave us amazing support earlier this year and we can only offer Cheryl the same.

Ross was a great person - he always made time for everyone, and was once or twice heard telling people his humble opinion on things  He & Cheryl always went out of their way to seek out my parents at Albury, despite them not being members, and that always made my parents' weekend! He was a person I will always proudly call a friend!

Ross, you will be very much missed, but Cheryl, you have a another family in the AMCCA who are there for you.

Putting this out there - I will be bringing my muscle car to the funeral, and I urge anyone else that can to please also do so... as you did for my mum. It just seems fitting!

  Ross
