Rev. John A. Ross, Brookline, MA— Rev. John A. Ross passed away in 2006, and his memory continues to be honored by the community he deeply touched. John was a beloved figure as the Minister of Music at First Parish UU for ten years and made significant contributions to the music scene throughout metropolitan Boston and the Northeast region.
