"On January 7, 2005, Charles James Ross passed away peacefully of natural causes.

Born to George and Mary Romney Ross seven months after his father, George, was killed in Salt Lake's first automobile accident, April 7, 1909. He said many times he never knew a father and never was a father.

He graduated from LDS High School and atended the U of U for a short time. Charles married his sweetheart, Verda Lee, June 17, 1946, in the SL Temple. After a 31 month LDS German-Austria Mission, Charles served three years in the US Army during World War II as a Clerk and LDS Group Leader. He served 37 years for Salt Lake City Corporations as a Deputy Court Clerk, IBM & Traffic Division Supervisor, Accountant, License inspector and many other positions for the City.

He was Bishop of his beloved 20th Ward where his grandfather, George Romney, was bishop for 25 years, and where Charles resided for his entire life. He served as ward and stake clerks for many years. He loved his volunteer work as a Host on Temple Square for 16 years and over five years did name extraction work. Was a conscientious Home Teacher for almost 80 years. Charles (Uncle Chic to many) will be remembered for his love of people, his good manners, dignity, kindness to all, and love of God.

He is survived by loving nieces and nephew, Betsy Ross Y. Newton, Gaylen S. Young, Jr., Mary Lou Y. Doxey, George J. Ross and Carolynn R. Hultquist.

The family wants to thank the wonderful people at Brighton Gardens for their helpful and loving care.

The funeral will be held at the 20th Ward chapel, 107 North G. Street, at 12 noon, January 13, 2005, with a viewing one hour before. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Mary Roos Music Scholarship Fund at the University of Utah."
