Not sure what to say?

My 1st football coaching position was as Dave's assistant at Louisville Jr. High in 1976 and what a learning experience it was. He possessed all the tangible and intangible qualities required to lead young athletes on and off the field and in the classroom. He was a disciplinarian with high expectations with the goal of preparing student athletes for life. More coaches of Dave's caliber are needed today in leading our youth into the future. I am forever greatful for the opportunity to learn...

Miriam, Mindy, Marcy, Lori and Families ~

Please receive our most sincere energy of encouragement and prayerful support as you begin life without Dave's physical presence. Rest assured, he now becomes an even warmer voice in each of your hearts. He touched many lives as a teacher, coach, financial advisor and friend. His spiritual strength was a gift that was woven through all of those relationships. I always enjoyed my coaching and education conversations with him, as well as...

What wonderful memories I have of Dave. He always had a joke for me and we laughed together at them. He has acquired his passage to God and we will reunite again. May the Lord bless each family member.

Mr.Ramsey was the best teacher I ever had.Every student today should have someone in their life like him.
What a huge loss.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

Dear Miriam and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for God's peace and comfort for you all.

Dave has been a good friend for over 40 years. He was one of the first people I met when I moved into the area in !982. Dave's life and witness as a Christian man has always stood out clearly for all to see. I will miss Dave greatly. Kim and I will be praying for the entire family as you deal with the grief of losing your loved one. Due to illness we were not able to be at the service. You all were , however, in our thoughts and prayers during the service.

Mrs. Ramsey, I was heartbroken to hear of Mr. Ramsey's passing. He had such a profound impact on me. From being the best Math teacher ever, to teaching me to keep the record book for his boy's basketball team, to helping me financially. He always made me feel valued and that we was glad to see me. My prayers for you during this time. May you find comfort in knowing how much he meant to all those who were lucky enough to know him.

Miriam, Mindy, Marcy and families, we are so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. He was an amazing Godly man. Our love and prayers are with you all. We pray that God will comfort you.
