Lawrence Charles Ross Jr.

“Jr” as he was affectionately known by those who knew and loved him, graduated from Perris Union High School, Perris California, where he loved and played all sports. Lawrence worked very hard while living in Twentynine Palms, California. He worked for a Desert Recycling Company and a Concrete Construction Firm for many years until he relocated to Evansville, Indiana.

God saw the road was getting rough

The hills were hard to climb

So, he closed his weary eyes

And whispered “peace be Thine.” ~ Author Unknown
