Ric - My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Your parents were very kind people and I always enjoyed their company. I was fortunate to have them in my life so many years ago. I remember them well and remember them fondly. It's so difficult to loose both parents especially so close together. Deepest sympathy to you and to your family.

My deepest condolences are with my children and the Ramsey family. Words cannot express the love my children had for their
"Pop Pop" We will always cherish the great memories. Richard has made an ever-lasting impression in their hearts. Richard passed away yesterday 09/26/2013 and went home to be with his wife Sharon. It is just heartbreaking to lose both Sharon and Richard as they were such amazing people, not alone lose both of them in the same year.
Sharon passed away on 03/26/2013 & Richard on 09/26/2013. Just 6 months apart. His heart is now at peace with the love of his life.
My prayers are with you as you move through this difficult process of healing. May the family find peace and comfort at this difficult time.
"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in all of your memories help comfort you tomorrow."
