From Bob Canning

Ross, you will forever be the lead White Boy. You, Kim Howe and myself would sing our impromptu numbers at musical rehearsals or parties and we called ourselves The Three White Boyz. We were THAT cool. Mr. Big's "To Be With You" was our biggest hit. In fact, most of my memories of you have music involved in some way, which should come as no surprise. Vocal Jazz, the musicals, the way you would enthusiastically scat like Steven Tyler in "Rag Doll." My high school years would not have been the same without Ross Clark. Vocal Jazz trips, the musicals, and the hanging out afterwards... I remember one long walk from Caroline Reid's house to your house... My love of music might not be the same if not for Ross Clark. Your love was so joyous and pure. I envied your no-fear attack of scat solos in Vocal Jazz. I envied your hair, too. I'm glad that the Internet has helped keep us in touch, I only wish we would have had more opportunities to hang in person. You're forever in my heart, friend. Keep singing. Keep singing.
