What a wonderful, wonderful man! He was always so calm and professional in his position as Controller of WILK. His "behind the scenes" efforts helped to make our station a success! I called him a few times over the last few years just to say Hi! I'm not sure if he remembered me. But I'll never forget him! Rest in peace Mr Ramage and may God bless your family!
