Ross was a true gentleman in every sense. We first met Ross when we were starting our business Mackie Business Forms. He was a big part in helping us get a start and remained loyal to us until his retirement. We hold him in high regard. He was one of a kind. God Bless you Ross.

Mr. Pilant was a wonderful witness for Jesus Christ. He served his Lord and the congregation of St. Paul Lutheran Church in so many ways. We will see him again in Heaven – what a day of rejoicing that will be!
God bless you all! You are a great family and have wonderful memories to get through the difficult times.
Your family is in my prayers.
