My sincere condolences on your loss.
I had the privilege of knowing Art for quite a few years. I was part of quite a few family celebrations when Art came to Ontario to visit Marianne, her daughters and grandchildren. We even took in a few New Year's Eve celebrations. Guess who put all the young ones to shame! Art was certainly the life of the party. He always had lots of interesting stories, loved his music and yes lots of dancing.
I'm sure each of his children and grandchildren have their memories but it was always a pleasure to see the bond and love shared between Art and Marianne. Their days weren't complete unless they had chatted. All the more important that they were able to spend Fathers Day weekend together.
Art will be missed my many I know. He had a zest for life a kind heart and a great love for his family.
Rest in peace Art.
With love,
Leslie McGill

Dad was a friend of birds. He ensured that his bird feeders were topped up regularly ...he didn't want his winged friends to go hungry.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I am saddened that I am not able to attend the funeral services in Nova Scotia. I was blessed to travel from Ontario with my daughter and grandson a couple of weeks ago to visit with dad around the Father's Day weekend. Below is a memorial/tribute to honour my father.
Memorial and Tribute to Dad
My very dear father, friend and hero, Arthur Ramsperger, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 26th at the age of 93. Although, I am with a very heavy heart, I take comfort in knowing that dads frantic search for the key to his earthly home ended in him being handed the keys to freedom--to his eternal homea place so wonderful; a glorious heavenly home that we cannot fully comprehend in this life. Dad is released from his anxiety, pain and tears---he is now truly free. I can envision Heavens Welcoming Home party thrown in dads honour! In my minds eye, I picture dad leaping for joy at being reunited with his beloved wife, Colleen, his children (Karen and David), his parents and siblings. I know that this separation is temporary and that one day, I will be reunited with my father again.
Its difficult to describe and give justice to the man my father was in a few words but Ill give it a go:
Dads heart was huge. Next to the Lord, dad loved his family and friends. Dad was a friendly, sociable guy with a great sense of humour. Dad was caring and thoughtful and would go out of his way to give a hand up to those in need.
Dad was the definition of unconditional love for me. He was encouraging, kind, caring, patient and wise. Dad had a huge presence in my life. I will really miss the extended periods of time we shared each summer and winter. When we were not together, I looked forward to our daily telephone calls.
Dad was an interested and involved grandfather and great-grandfather. My children and grandchildrens lives have been richly blessed as a result of the close bond they shared. They will miss their yearly visits and weekly phone conversations.
Dads home was always open to visitors. He thrived on visits from family and friends--he was a perfect host. Dad was an excellent cook---and was particularly famous for his barbeques and fish dinners. Dad always enjoyed a good party, music and dancing. I will forever cherish the memories of our last dances together (caught on video) just two weeks ago, Fathers Day weekend!
Dad was a seasoned winemaker---his cellar was filled with hundreds of bottles of the homemade stuff. There was never a shortage of wine to complement the delicious meals he served up. For those who didnt care for wine, dads beer fridge was always stocked.
Dad was an avid golfer. Just a few short years ago, Dad made the front page news in his hometown of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, by achieving a Hole in One. He revelled in the extra attention he received from this fame/celebrity status.
Dad was a friend to animals and for most of his life had pets as companions. Dad often reminisced of his departed furry friends. Dad adored birds of all kinds and had quite an impressive display of bird feeders--replenishing these feeders kept dad quite busy. Memories flood back to me of dad standing in awe/wonder and admiration of the wild deer that roamed his property---his Bambis
Dad was Mr. Fix It. There was nothing that dad couldnt repair. He was particularly drawn to engines---his hands were often stained black with grease. At the age of 92, dad was still hoisting equipment up and crawling under various types of machinery to fix something. Dads garage was one of his big hobbies--it was the size of a home---filled with every kind of tool and gadget you could imagine.
Dad was an expert grass cutter. I have fond memories of dad happily racing around his property aboard his ride on lawnmower ....it was almost a daily job to keep 10 acres cut and groomed and dad took great pride in tackling this property maintenance work. I recall some heart in throat moments as I watched dad drive that mower like Mario Andretti....lol!
Dad loved to shop---Costco being one of his favourite places. Dad could wander around malls/shops for hours browsing was one of his great pleasures.
Dad kept himself up to date in world affairs. He had definite opinions on politicians and the way countries should be run....and he didnt mind sharing those views.
Dad your life was so large that it could not possibly be contained in this tribute to you. Although your body will be laid to rest beside your beloved Colleen, because of what Jesus did, your grave will be empty---love like yours, dad, could never die! Your spirit has been given wings!
I love you so very much and will miss your presence in my lifein my children and grandchildrens life. Your memory will live on forever in our hearts.
Rest in Peace Dad
