Ross Allan McCune

Ross passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at the age of 85 with his wife Addy by his side and surrounded by family. 

Ross grew up on a farm near Disley, Saskatchewan.  At 15 years of age, he left the farm and went to work in Regina, first in the construction industry and then to the dairy industry where he worked for 40 years beginning in Regina, Saskatchewan, transferring to Lethbridge, Alberta and finishing his career in Calgary, Alberta. He met his wife Addy in Regina while he was delivering milk to her place of work. They were married in 1958 and would go on to be married for over 61 years. 

Ross loved to curl, play golf, go fishing, and in retirement was known to have a “friendly” game of Rummy every morning with Addy. Throughout his life he was also involved in the Elks Club, the Masons and The Shriners where he would go to numerous parades in North America and help raise money for the Shriners Hospitals.  He was a loving and supportive father, grandfather and uncle traveling to watch his family no matter the activity – softball, football, baseball, track, soccer, triathlon, basketball, squash, curling, volleyball, piano recitals, or whatever they were involved in – he was there for them cheering them on.   He was loved dearly by all who knew him.

He was predeceased by his parents, John and Blanche McCune; brothers, Edward (Bernice), Gordon (Edna), Norman and Kenneth; sisters, Dorothy (Art and Joe), Margaret (Lionel), Edna (Chuck and Vestervig), Sadie (Vic) and Florence (William). 

He is lovingly missed by his wife, Addy; children, Pat (Fae) McCune, Kathy (Tobi) McCune, Karen (Russ) MacKay, and Nancy (Dave) McCune; grandchildren, Carly (Beau), Todd, Ben and Taylor; great-grandchildren Rex and Blake; and siblings, Myrtle Smith, Elsie (John) Collins, Roy (Angie) McCune and Gladys (Don) Grant; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

His family would like to thank the staff at Good Samaritan Society Park Meadows with a special thanks to the caregivers in Cottage 1.
