Though small of stature, Ross was a giant.
I echo Jane's recollection of him as a man of deep knowledge and great conviction, always delivered with good humour. Just weeks ago I was passing on his great, but irreverant wisdom as Returning Officer to a new generation at the Electoral Commission's national office.
He will be sadly missed.

My sincere condolences to you all. During my time at EC from 2005 I got to know Ross really well as an RO up until 2017. I do recall very well that his bark was worse than his bite, and it took me a while to realise that he was actually smiling at the same time. He could recite the Act so often challenged us and kept us on our toes. He will be sadly missed. Love to all - Jane Hellendoorn
