I knew he hadn't posted for a couple of weeks, but I didn't realise there was anything to worry about. RIP Ross. Edited November 30, 2015 by vince14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gambler Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Jeez, that is very sad to read. Ross liked a good conversation, I had a few with him over the years myself. It's always sad to hear about people from the forums that you have read their posts over the years pass away. Rest in peace Ross. Jeff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Shocking news; I wasn't aware of any problems he had as well. Rest in piece, mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I never met Ross - but we were obviously on the same wavelength when it came to our mutual interest in Russian aircraft. He always came across as a nice guy - helpful and considerate. It comes as a bit of a shock to read about his passing - I shall miss his posts and banter.

Jinxter13 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Here on ARC we have friends, with whom we communicate via PM's thru which we get to know the person a little better, though most of the time we never have a face to face meeting. Ross Blackford is one such person to me. We often talked (via PM) about different subjects very little of which was modeling; he and I had our own monikers; he was downunder Ross, and I was upover Clif referencing our locations. Ross was a person with whom I easily talked and we shared a faith, he told me once that my quiet faith gave him a boost, for which I'm glad I know in talking with him I felt better afterwards and got a boost from him, we often say someone will be missed meaning their presence and we will no longer benefit from their contributions, advice, insight; however in my case I'll have one less friend to talk to when things get tough. I can't speak for others, but I know his passing will have a deep affect on me. Ross shared with me some of the goings on in his personal life, things he'd do, places he'd go, and I felt like I'd been there with him to a degree. Oz and the world will be a different place without him, and I'm sure those who were friends and mates downunder will miss him even more. Ross I'm sure you're in a better place, there are many here on ARC who will miss you, some more than others. Godspeed my friend; you were a truly good mate, and may you rest in eternal peace I'll be saying a prayer for you as I do every night. I pray your family and very close friends will find solace and comfort at one of the most difficult times life brings in knowing how much you meant to others. :pray: Edited November 30, 2015 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Sad and shocking to read. I remember Ross as a GB mod in 2010 for the trainers GB. My first Gb I joined and Ross was the "guide" from downunder. He did a marvellous job as a mod and I had a good feeling in that virtual group. Rest in peace, I will always remember you the times we enjoyed the trainers GB. :salute:/> Edited November 30, 2015 by tobiK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
