Ross 'Rosco' Siddall, longtime horseman and blacksmith in the Windsor, Ont. area, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday, May 2 at the age of 81.
Best friend and loving husband of Judy with whom they shared 46 years together. Loving father of Stefanie (Scott) Willoughby, Brandon (Laura) Siddall, Ryan (Kim) Siddall, and Ronan (Megan) Siddall. Dear papa of Rian, Robyn, Ross, Ronnie, Dustin, Dakota, and Duke. Dear brother of Elsie Smith, Ruby Lindsay, Ken Siddall and late Harold Siddall. Best friend and brother-in-law Joey and Cheryl Wilson. He will be missed by many nieces and nephews.
Ross lived a fulfilling life devoted to his family and horses. Working as a blacksmith for 65 years, his work ethic was nothing short of extraordinary. Many knew Ross for his humour and quick wit, always knowing how to light up a room. In his free time, he would be outdoors surrounded by his beloved animals. Ross was a great man that will be missed and remembered by all those that were privileged to know him.
In following Ross’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Arrangements entrusted to Families First, 585 Sandwich St. South, Amherstburg, 519-969-5841.
As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Windsor Essex County Humane Society.
