Leo Bruce Ramer

I only knew you for a short amount of time but you were the kindest and the most gentle man I've ever met. We had some great moments together and I enjoyed caring for you.

Some many good times with Leo, building his boat, helping us at the Miami boat show, and greeting him as he returned from his circumnavigation in Fort Lauderdale, FL where his sailing adventure began. Edi and I were honoured to be guests at his wedding to Darlene on board Tradewind on the dock behind our Cabo Rico offices, and later to see the two of them off on their first trans Atlantic voyage together. A big adventure for Darlene who's sailing experience was just day sails with Leo in Fort Lauderdale waters. Edi and I stayed in touch with Leo over the years and will miss him very much. Our condolences to Susan and Karen and the whole Ramer family. Leo was an amazing guy. Edi and Fraser Smith

So sorry for your loss, Karen and Sue.

Warm Regards,
Eric Peterson

Leo was a true renaissance man! I always enjoyed cruising with him and listening to his stories. I especially appreciated his efforts to make tapas for us during one visit.

Karen, I´m sorry for your loss. Your Father was such a fine example of what mankind should be. I still smile and even laugh when I think of your Dad and Lou sailing across the Atlantic. May God continue to comfort and bless you and your family. Randy Sams

I know it was inevitable for Leo to pass onto his next spiritual life; but who wants such a positive, creative, joyful, successful person to vanish from earth when he has created such a great presence around with his common sense, adventurous spirit of learning and smile bubbling over to others !! Karen & Susan, his daughters, are just as good....so you know he had to be a great Dad, family man......even though he did take off around the world on Tradewind after retirement. I am sure some were a bit worried !! I met Leo when he sailed into Ft. Lauderdale on his Cabo Rico sailboat approximately when Darline was on the horizon. We worked well together on Tradewind putting new chainplates in and refinishing the woodwork. He amazed me for the whole duration of our friendship. He married Darline who had never sailed before and off they went across the Atlantic. I am very happy to have known him for all this time on the planet and his daughters.... Sail on Sailor. We all will meet again in the next harbour.... Respectfully, Catherine Puskarich

Sailed on, Leo !!

Dear Karen and family, we´re so sorry you have lost your esteemed patriarch, Leo. Lou loved and admired him so and we enjoyed hearing Lou´s stories of Leo´s adventures. What a wonderful productive life he led. You are so lucky to have had him in your lives for so long and fond memories will last your lifetimes. Love to you all, Chris and Don Dehoff

A kind and brilliant soul, who lived life to the fullest. Those who knew him were fortunate recipients of his passionate energy and spirit. He was a joy to be with. Blessings to the family.

Though we only knew Leo from his Cabo Rico FB posts, our admiration is boundless . He was a sailor with world wide credentials,we enjoyed his observations and recollections . Fare thee well from Mark and Jennifer Swart.
