“Sir” Ross Edward Roadknight (1940 — Dec 20, 2015)

Ross went bravely to his eternal rest, on December 20, 2015. He is survived by his son, Bradley, his granddaughter, and many family and friends. At 75 years of age, he still kept himself quite busy. His cottage was his sanctuary. He had been going up to Kahshe since he was a small child and has shared stories of those early days right here in the Kahshe Krier under the title "The way it was.” 

These are just a few of his favourite things, not necessarily in this order: venison, blueberry pie, pickerel, and partridge with gravy. He always loved being up on the rocks, being up deep in the bush in late fall, not just to hunt, but to be one with nature.

Dad and I had several run-ins with bears just north of Sam Cook Road. “Way up on the Rocks" he fondly called that area. Ross spent a lot of time in the old Houseys Rapids General store and was a big help to the owner, Same Coade. The Summerland Genbearl Store was another favourite hangout where he also attended Saturday night dances as a young lad. 

"Archie Fitcher” called the tunes back then and played a mean fiddle. Suffice it to say, Ross will be sorely missed.
