Lachlan Eoin Macrae Lac ROSS

ROSS, Lachlan Eoin MacRae Lac Ross, former Ontario Land Surveyor, "crossed the great divide" suddenly, but very peacefully, in hospital, with his family by his side, on Sunday, March 9, 2008. Much loved brother of Fairley Baker (Cecil) of Philadelphia, and Malcolm (Judy) of Aylmer, Quebec. Predeceased by older brother Bob. Proud uncle of Colin Ross of Toronto, Alison Leeds and Malcolm Baker of New York, Rebekah Burke of Long Island, and Katie Ross and Jennifer Ross-Carriere of Ottawa. Lac was fortunate to have a caring extended family including sister-in-law Judy Ross-Presley, and best friend and cousin Rod Matheson, who is a brother to us all. Lac was a book of knowledge, a man's man, who loved to golf and talk...about anything! He boasted of the many accomplishments of the younger members of our family, as long as they were out of hearing range. He will be missed by his good friends, Darlene Gouda and Ron Desjardins, who were always so kind to him, especially in the last few years. He will never know how really loved he was, by so many. Visitation will be at Pinecrest Remembrance Services, Baseline Rd., Ottawa, from 11:00 a.m. Wednesday March 12, to service in the chapel at 1:00 p.m. A reception will follow. The family requests donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Parkinson Society Ottawa. Thank you to all who knew and cared for him. He will be forever in our thoughts. And the sun shone brightly as he left us. Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 3/11/2008 - 3/12/2008
