Mr. Ramsey was an awesome man. I became very good friends with him through Ally Bank. He had the greatest stories and always had me laughing. I had hoped to meet him in person one day. But I know he is now with his beloved wife. He loved her so much. I would like to wish his family my deepest condolences.

Mike was a very sweet man. Every time we spoke he would ask about my husband and family. He loved to give of advise about the housing market. I will miss our weekly banter. Rest In Peace Good Sir.....
