Gilbert David Ross, age 86, passed away Wednesday, August 2, 2017.
Born in Ohio, Dave and his sister, Donna Ross danced into Lockport; grasped the hands of their partners, Kathleen Broderick and Joe McCarthy, and never let go.
Dave was a United States Navy Korean War Veteran. He was a member of the Lockport V.F.W. Post #1557, the Lockport Lions Club as well as a member and past president of the Will County Dental Society.
In 1960, Dave opened his dental practice in downtown Lockport. His son, Tom, runs the practice today.
