Dearest Ramsey Family,
On the news of Mr. Ramsey's passing I am reminded of his firm handshakes, hearty laugh and the warm house he welcomed me into (all of you really) on the occasion of coming by to whisk Rob off somewhere. My condolences go out to each of you and your families.

Dear Ramsey family, I am so saddened by the news of your husband/dad's passing. One of the things that I will always remember about your dad is how proud he was of his family-and rightly so! He always made me feel so welcome and right at home whenever I was over to visit-in fact you all have that ability. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be there with you this weekend. I will be there with you in spirit and am keeping you all in my prayers. Much love and hugs to all of you.

To Ellen and all the Ramsuy Family; My heartfelt prayers and condolences to you. Bob was a part of our Chief Probation Officer's Association, and always had a kind word for his friends each and every time we gathered together. His true work is known only to Him and those whose lives he served in trying to bring respect and dignity back to those who fell by the wayside for one reason or another. He was a true Probation Officer serving his Court and his community. Rest in eternal peace Bob, You fought the good fight, you ran the race, you finished the course. We love you and miss you.

Bill (and family),

I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I know that he was a strong presence in your life and quite proud of your accomplishments and character, which I am certain he can no doubt take some credit for. I wish you great strength during these trying times and shall keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to all the family. I didn't myself know Bob, but do know his sons, and have followed the sad progress of the illnesses that he suffered so long. Patty Cremins kept me informed. Regret that my own condition prevents me from attending the wake and the funeral.
