For five decades Chuck Ross was an encouragement to Lipscomb Athletics and held the title as Lipscomb's #1 fan. Lipscomb athletes, coaches, and cheerleaders could count on Chuck arriving early for games with his briefcase and purple and gold. His briefcase always included game programs, scorebook, player cards and autographs, and road maps. Deep in his briefcase were placed two valuable possessions: his lucky purple and gold rabbit's foot and his treasured Bible. Chuck greeted thousands with his famous "Hi you doing, Buddy?" In 1988 Chuck was inducted into the Lipscomb Athletics Hall of Fame. He was also a fan to Lipscomb Academy, Goodpasture High School, Maplewood High School, Isaac Litton, Vanderbilt Football, and his beloved Nashville Sounds, Predators, Tennessee Titans, and professional wrestling. Chuck could claim to have seen more sporting events than any other Nashvillian during his lifetime. When Chuck was not attending a sporting event, he could be found at the Inglewood Bowling Alley, Nashville International Airport helping direct the planes to the gate, helping the Nashville Police Department, spending time with his friends at Lakeshore, Donelson Church of Christ, Riverwood Church of Christ, and Hillsboro Church of Christ. Much of Chuck's time was spent assisting a fraternity of coaches, media members, referees and umpires improve their profession. Throughout his life Chuck's main mode of communication was by phone to offer encouragement, ask a question or share an inside tip. Phone records would surely support that Chuck Ross made more phone calls during his lifetime than any other Nashvillian. Chuck's spirit of encouragement and love impacted countless friends and strangers. God's Kingdom has been blessed by utilizing Chuck to positively affect the world during his time on this earth.
