John ‘David' Ross
John “David” Ross, formerly of East Hampton and Sag Harbor, died peacefully on April 2 in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, where he lived with his eldest daughter. He was 88.
He was born June 19, 1935, at home in East Hampton, the son of Kenneth Ross and Doris Geisler Ross.
Dave, as he liked to be called, attended Sag Harbor schools, then served four years in the U.S. Navy.
He made a career in the plumbing and heating field. He enjoyed woodworking and building.
He was an avid golfer, and he always enjoyed a good joke and making people laugh.
He was a lifelong member of the Bridgehampton Fire Department.
He is survived by two daughters, Deborah Ross and Lynelle Ross; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and his very much loved cousin Joyce Lyons Shields.
His ashes will be returned to his beloved South Fork for a small remembrance service at a later date.
