So sorry for your loss. I have great memories of your dad at Wesley! He was always ready to show me his orange and black socks during football season or his red and green socks during the Christmas season. He truly was a great guy!

Bob Ramsey was likely the first person I met at Wesley UMC. He served as a veteran usher there and was the perfect choice for welcoming newcomers. I loved his black turtlenecks, OSU Cowboy socks and fun-loving manner. I know when I worship at Wesley that Bob's spirit will be there with us. My sympathy to Martha, Madison, Guy and the rest of his family.
