Remembering an old friend…

[tweetmeme]
Yesterday we remembered an old friend Ross Elbing. Ross was a friend I met while attending Calvary Chapel Huntington Beach, later to be known as Refuge. Ross was a musician and was on the praise and worship team and I had the pleasure of playing with him from time to time. Ross was how I would describe, “A SUPER NICE GUY!” He was the guy everyone loved and he loved everyone. I never really had any one on one conversations with Ross but he was never short of a kind word of encouragement. Ross was remembered at Orange Coast College in the drama lab. I was told that Ross’ favorite color was green and that he wouldn’t want anyone to be dressed up at his memorial and that in fact, wearing green would be a nice tribute. Well, when we pulled up to the parking lot, I was so glad that we all wore green. Everyone was wearing green and it was a great tribute to a great man. Ross was remembered and a lot of people had a lot of great things to say but what I’ll remember is how he loved his children and how much they love him. We will remember you Ross. Say hello to my dad.
