Not sure what to say?

I was privileged to teach Scott's daughter, Nan. I didn't know Scott well but I do know that any parent capable of producing such a fine daughter must have something going for him. My sincere condolences to the family and especially to Nan.

Love,

Mr. Ramsey was my band director at Court Junior High. Even though I played one of those silly woodwinds and not a real instrument like the trumpet, he was still a wonderful teacher and made learning a fun experience. Those days in band at Court were some of the best I had in school.

I was saddened to read of Scotts passing. He came to Deming to teach trumpet in the sixties. His lessons were special and I have always looked at him as one of a few that inspired me to continue on to college. Although I did not continue to be a music major I did complete my education as a speech therapist. Music got me to college and I will never forget that inspiration.

One of the pleasures of being an administrator at Farmington High School in the late 70's and early 80's was getting to know Scott as well as Chuck.(I already knew Ross.) Scott was a lot of fun to be around, his bands always performed well, and his kids had fun being in his bands. He and our chorus director John Peed were a pair to draw to, and I believe Scott left a real legacy for all those who knew him. He will be missed.

Linda,

I am so sorry to read about your loss of Scott. My prayers are with you and your family.

Mr Ramsey was my band director and mentor at Court Junior High-Las
Cruces, New Mexico in 1967-68. I am forever indebted to him for instruction on the trumpet.
Some of the best memories of my
youth, were under his tutelage.
My thoughts and prayers go out to
the entire Ramsey family
