Ross Martin was one of those rare Aussie blokes whose compassion and commitment led to making a real difference in the world.
A fellow unique in his ability to identify a need in the community and find a way to help, whilst inspiring others to follow his lead.
Ross’ involvement with charities such as Variety – the Children’s Charity and Havenlee School are testament to his concern for those less fortunate, especially underprivileged children.
Many lives have been changed for the better because of this humble man with the big smile and happy chuckle.
