Raymond W. Ross Jr

Raymond W. Ross Jr., age 93, passed away peacefully on July 25, 2025, in Ambler, Pennsylvania. He resided in Oreland and then Glenside Pennsylvania as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and was affectionately known as “Bud” to many.

Ray was preceded in death by his devoted wife of 33 years, Margaret Ross; his parents, Raymond and Kathryn Ross; and his sister and her husband Bill and Betty Oldach. He is survived by his children, David Ross (Susan) and Jennifer Dix (Jon), and his cherished grandchildren: Katy Aldridge (Berry), Dillon Ross, Brandon Ross, Tyler Dix, Matthew Ross, and Collin Ross. He is also survived by one sister-in-law and many nieces and nephews.

Born in Philadelphia and raised in Fox Chase, Ray lived a life centered around family, service, hard work, and lasting friendships. He graduated from Central High School in Philadelphia in 1949 and earned his degree in Business Administration and Economics from Muskingum College in 1953. Ray proudly served in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1953, he served for three years, including aboard the destroyer USS Cowell toward the end of the Korean War. He dedicated over 35 years of his professional life to working in human resources for Sperry Univac (later Unisys) in Blue Bell, PA. He remained deeply proud of the friendships and camaraderie built during his career.
