Married for 55 years, he will be missed by his wife, Marilyn (nee Gaudin) his two daughters, Joyce and Barbara (Alain), his two grandsons Isaac Olmstead and David Ladouceur as well as his great granddaughter Leah Olmstead. He is also survived by his sister Rhoda Craig (Arnold) of Bozeman, Montana. Born in Eastend, Saskatchewan, Ross spent his teenage years in Banff, Alberta. He began his career by studying at Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa, Oklahoma and upon completion he took a position at A.V. Roe in Toronto and then moving on to Canadair, now Bombardier. Prior to retiring, he contributed to the design of such aircraft as the Avro Arrow, CL-215 Water Bomber and the Challenger. He will always be remembered for his passion for airplanes and books.
