With sad hearts we embrace the loss of a great man who, for us and many others brought a larger than life smile and kind words for all, always. Knowing Ross (and Marilyn) over the years at Mid Huron Beach brought us many smiles and happy thoughts of our history at the beach. The love he had for Marilyn his Family and for life was unbreakable and will live on forever in our hearts and soul. Thank you, Ross for your wisdom, patience, and all you are and have been, we will miss you. Our warm thoughts and prayer go out to the Karlson Family, we share in your grief and extend our love to you all. Kirk & JoAnne

To All the Families of Ross And Marilyn I was saddened to read of Ross’s passing especially so soon after Marilyn. I met both Ross & Marilyn through my husband Bob who went through high school together, and our meetings on the ski hills or at the H.C. were always a source of fun and laughter. They will be truly missed by so very many along with their extensive Family. My sincerest condolences.... Kay Bailey

I did not know Ross but as a grade 8 student at Mountsfield PS, I attended a few of South’s football games at Labatt Park in the Fall of 1954. Immediately, Ross Karlson became one of my gridiron heroes. I went on to play football at South and coached HS ball for many years but often, when one of my running backs powered into the end-zone, I would think of Ross Karlson from those many years ago. Please accept my sincere condolences on his passing. God Bless. Ross Spettigue, Windsor, ON

My sincere condolences to the family. I have met with Ross, Marv Liley, Bill Pierson, and others annually since our team reunion in 1998 to reminisce about the good times we had together in our magical summer of 1948 with Joe Bechard. And how they influenced us far afterward. Lessons for life! We shared a special bond that many folks never have experienced. Sadly we failed to meet last year and I truly regret it. Our memories are indeed what we leave behind. Ross was one of the most positive men I have ever encountered and had with it very thoughtful insight into what makes us happy. We will miss him and his boundless enthusiasm.

Peter Hawke posted a condolence
On behalf of the Hawke family, I wanted to pass on my condolences to the extended Karlson family. My parents (Bill & Jean) were good friends with Ross and Marilyn and they had many, many wonderful memories of the fun times they had together. Maybe they are all joined together once again in heaven, perhaps hitting a ball around and laughing.

To Ross' family: Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of a truly special man - he was everything his well written obituary says, probably more! It was a real pleasure for us that our 23 years at Mid Huron Beach overlapped Ross and Marilyn's time there. Sincerely, John Pryde / Marilyn Chappel
