He is also the author of ''The National Puzzlers' League, The First 115 Years,'' a history of the National Puzzlers' League (NPL). He and his wife Faith have been married for more than 50 years, and are former NPL editors under the collective nom de plume "Faro" (with variant forms "FAro" for Faith and "faRO" for Ross).〔(Reference Books and Periodicals For Puzzle Solvers and Composers ), Merlin (updated by Saxifrage), National Puzzlers' League, accessed 2015-02-07; under periodicals this lists "Word Ways: The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, published quarterly by Faro (Faith and Ross Eckler)".〕 Eckler's hobbies are genealogy and supercentenarian research.
