Vincent M. Ramsey

I'm very late to this.. But my dad was Jerry Ramsey.. This was an uncle.. There is so much to say about this man.. It's pretty cool he traveled with Hank Williams Jr.. Playing the guitar runs in our family.. I'm proud he was my kin

We don't want to miss an opportunity to say, "We miss you Maurice" and to add our sentiments as to how fine a gentleman, friend and guitar player he was.
