We were so blessed to have Bob in our lives. In our sadness, we are also reminded of the many great times we had with Bob (and Jackie). The times we shared I learned many valuable lessons in life.
You are both in our thoughts and prayers,

Thank you everyone for paying your respects to the greatest man I ever knew. He inspired me set goals, work hard, seek truth, and live passionately. I hope to honor his memory with renewed focus on what he's taught me and by elevating these themes in my own daughter's life.

Robert Ramsey was my Grandfather. He was the GRANDFATHER. Some would say that he was the glue that held the family together. I am just glad he was Super Glue.......
