Life story

Ross McGrath, son to Athol and Bessie McGrath, grew up in Kandos. Ross had three siblings, his brother Dennis and two sisters Joy and Michelle. He was a trained fitter when he met the love of his life Sandra Ford. They lived a very happy life with their three children Leanne, Jamie and Jeremy. Ross enjoyed playing golf, history, tinkering in his shed and fishing. He most of all loved being a grandfather to his 5 grandchildren Hanna, Lillie, Ava, Jayden and Chloe. Ross is deeply missed by his whole family. He is remembered by his practical jokes, cheeky smile, contagious laugh and his selflessness.

Ross Mcgrath / pop / my hero

To the man that made everything in life a bit sweeter. Thank you for your contagious laugh and your cheeky sense of humour. Thank you for your selfless acts and undying patience. Thank you for rides in old blue and your sweet tooth. Thank you for brightening up not only my life but everyone else around you. Thank you for your words of wisdom and being a shoulder to lean on. There is no denying we lost you from this world too soon. I love and miss you.
