Subject: Hi to everyone

Just wanted to add some words about my friend Ross Guaneri. I knew Ross for many years. He was very close to my brother George Vernile up to the time of his unfortunate death. Ross was a troubled person, but always tried to hide it through his great sense of humor. Those of you who were fortunate enough to know Ross, know what a great guy he was. He was one of the funniest people i've ever known. We all miss him very much and pray that he is in a better place. I also wanted to say hello to all my old friends from Canarsie. I have great childhood memories from the Brook, ps 276, Bildersee and South shore. I wish everyone well and hope my old friends and neighbors are doing well. Stay well.

Ross was a great person. Some of my best memories at the Brook involve Ross and his humor (and his dancing, playing paddleball, Great Adventure. There are too many to name. We'll miss him for a long time to come. Also, I am glad we are all still checking the Brook messageboard. It was a time we all cherish. I hope all is well with everyone.

Alex

Brian - that was a lovely post you wrote about Ross. He truly was a wonderful guy... just terribly misunderstood. If you remember, Ross & I had dated from 1982-1984 and he was my first boyfriend as a teenager, and he will always hold a very special place in my heart.

You are so right -- yes, he was very troubled but always tried to hide it through being comical. Sadly, Ross and I had lost touch after 1995 and then I heard of the news. It still brings tears to my eyes. Hopefully he is in a better and happier place now... watching over all of us, like our Angel.
