Albert Ross, Jr., 80, lifelong Nashwauk resident, died Saturday, January 17, 2015, at Evergreen Terrace Nursing Home in Grand Rapids. He was born Nov. 26, 1934, to Albert Sr. and Ruth Ross in Hibbing.
Al graduated from Nashwauk High School in 1952, and was stationed in Japan during the Korean War as a member of the U.S. Army.

“Uncle Al,” as he was known to both family and friends, had a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor. The family wishes to extend special thanks to Fr. Seth Gogelin, Fr. Tim Lange, and Tom Drazenovich for the spiritual guidance they provided Al in his last days by praying the rosary with him.
Al is survived by his brothers: Charlie (Joey) and Mike (Rita); and by many nieces, nephews, cousins, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Frank Ross.
Interment was in Nashwauk Cemetery.
