June 10 ‑ Cornelius “Pete Ross”, 75, died of liver cancer.

He and Dona contributed time and money to the pee wees since donating the land. Ross was also a life member of Bremerton Yacht Club, was a founding member of the Silverdale Lion and Silverdale Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Kitsap Golf and Country Club. His business sense led him to a life of investment, including owning the Populars Restaurant, where he employed many athletes over the 14 years of ownership.
