Life story

Ross was a GREAT father and wonderful son, brother, husband and friend. He attended Sanford Schools and was a great athelete playing soccer in his younger years and football. He loved snow skiing, water skiing, camping, snowmobiling, ice fishing, traveling and also experienced zip-lining, parasailing and sky diving. We used to always say "If it's not scary it's not FUN!" Ross graduated from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and was scooped up by CVS Pharmacy in the role of Pharmacy Manager in Biddeford for several years. He married the love of his life Jessica Gendreau and together they had 2 children, Emerson and Charlotte as well as their loving chocolate lab, Benson. He eventually left CVS and moved on to Hannaford Pharmacy in Biddeford as the manager where he was employed when he passed. Ross had a great deal of energy, passion and ambition. He joined with 2 other investors and started Aroma Joes in South Portland. After the SOPO Aroma Joes began to prosper, he and his partners started the Aroma Joes in Augusta, ME. At the same time, Ross was working full time at Hannaford as their Pharmacy Manager, maintained a beautiful home on "the ridge" and took very good care of his family in Springvale, ME. Ross is loved and missed by all who knew him, especially his parents Sharon and David, his sister Dawn who is now married to Ian Blanchard. They have 2 children, Lucy and Henry who would be extremely LOVED by Ross and if he were here, he would be so very happy. He is also missed dearly by many friends and extended family members. I am sure he is our angel, looking down on all of us and making sure that we are safe and happy. When you see a beautiful, colorful bird who seems to be paying extra attention to you for some reason, it's Ross letting you know that he is with you.
