Jim was my co-pilot in VS-31 and a good one. I had a great time kidding him about a requirement to document all his miscues on a NAVAIRTESTCEN report to his Dad. He often responded that his brother was a test pilot, his father a VADM, and that his claim to fame was taking five years to get through the Academy. Many fond memories from so long ago.

Dear Ramsey Family,

I was saddened to hear about Jim. He was always such a happy person, who brought a lot of joy to everyone with his positive attitude and his corny jokes! He really did have a million of them. I loved making fun of his crazy eyebrows. He will be missed.
