He was my first dentist 43 years ago and I continued to see him until Kitt took over the practice. My family, the Shelhorse's were members of Christ Lutheran Church. He was a kind and gentle man and I respected him very much.

Doc was the definition of a "gentleman". We will always remember his thoughtful nature and sincere concern for the wellbeing of others. His hats, smile, gaze at the river and love for God and his family leave us with an everlasting gift of having had the privilege to know him. The years since Patsy went to heaven probably felt like an eternity to him, and we can rejoice in their reunion as healed and whole children in the presence of God. Love to all of you,especially my sister, Anita,and peace in the living Lord.

Our deepest sympathy go out to Doc Ramsey's family at this loss. Doc was a wonderful person as is his family. I know they will grieve at his loss but also rejoice in his being with the Lord and his wife Patsy. We look forward to the celebration service where all of his triumphs can be brought forth to the congregation, friends and family.
