Not sure what to say?

David Ramirez was my supervisor 1982-85.
He was a kind person. We occasionally spoke while he was a Patient's Advocate.
After my Quadruple Heart ByPass in
October 2020 I had breakfast with a few coworkers, they shared that he'd passed away. It sadden me he was an unique supervisor. Condolences to his wife and son. You're In My Prayers.

My deepest condolences to the Ramirez Family for your loss. I was just informed of David's passing. I worked with David at the VA. He served as the facility Minority Veterans Program Coordinator and I served as his alternate for a time before he retired. I knew him for many years but the time spent working on the program with him was very enlightening. He also was a Patient Advocate. Our responsibility was to outreach veterans to come into the system. We especially had to outreach...

I only worked with Mr. Ramirez for nearly a year, but in that short amount of time I grew fond of him, and respected/admired the type of man he was. We should all be grateful to have known such a wonderful and gentle human being.

RIP Mr. Ramirez

My heart goes out to your entire family, Romans 15:13 promises that God gives us hope and peace, may He comfort you with his love and tender mercy in this difficult time (2 Cor 1:2-4).

My deepest condolences to David's family. I recently found out about his passing. David and I worked at the VA hospital. David provided limousine service for my wedding and my son's wedding.David always so polite and soft spoken and kind person.God only takes the best.May he Rest In Peace.Yolanda (Lopez) Bustamante

My condolences to the Ramirez family. David is a very good friend of mine, we share a sentinel event, We both started working at AMVAH on the same day in 1-1976. What a great veteran advocate!!! David will always be alive in my heart, his memory is always with us, Your Brother In Christ,

I met David in May 1983 At Audie. It was an honor to share some of his stories on Monday night. As I mention that night, everyone has all kinds of memories about the man. Since his retirement we would always text each other during special holidays. Very sad right now. God is with you my friend.

David, l always nice memories of you during my 8 1/2 with the VA Police. What impressed me the most about you was that no matter who it was that
came by your counter or desk to see you, (employee, patient or visitor) you immediately stopped what you were doing and gave your undivided attention. You were the golden example of effective listening...and caring. I learned a lot from you, my friend. God bless you.

My deepest condolences to the Ramirez family. David was always helpful and a pleasure to work with at the VA.
