Ross Allyn PRINCE August 10, 1951 ~ May 25, 2011 Husband of Chris Anderson, father of Siv and Riley Prince, brother of Bim Prince, and member of a large extended family. Ross was a 1969 graduate of Shorecrest High School where he was a standout baseball pitcher and a musician who played drums in an early NW band called Balloon Farm. As a young man, Ross's adventurous spirit led him from tending bar in Fremont to Alaska's Bering Sea where he was foreman on a crab processor. His work in landscaping, fine furniture, and iron art, ultimately led him to form Ross Prince Design and Construction. Ross enjoyed coaching his daughters basketball teams and later his wife's softball team. He always played highly competitive softball, an activity shared by his family , who are his biggest fans. Sadly, Ross died barely two months after being diagnosed with cancer in March. His large family, many friends and teammates miss him greatly. We love you Ross.
