I am so sorry for your loss, Alice and family. I used to call on Dr Ramirez as a pharm rep. He was always so kind and cared about helping his patients. He was one of my favorite doctors to visit with, because he had such a caring heart. I wish you all strength and peace during this hard time.

Dear Alice and Family

God bless in this time. I was with Al during residency. The more I got to know Al the more I appreciated him and all he had been through. He was a caring man who had seen horrible things in the war and this gave him a special insight in helping those who struggled. I saw him many years after training and after he had moved to Tucson and he still had that big smile and that caring nature. He told me about making choices that were not based on how he would gain financially but rather where he could help the most. There are too few men like Al.Thanks for sharing him with all of us. Joe

Al was a wonderful person. He was positive, fun, and always willing to help another. He and his wife, Alice, opened both their hearts and even their home for a time to me. I, and the rest of the Michigan and Montana gang, will dearly miss cousin Alfredo!

Dr. Ramirez was an extraordinary doctor that went out of his way to make everybody feel at home! While I had him as my doctor, I began to forge a friendship with him that would last forever. Dr. Ramirez was the coolest doctor that I ever met. Dr. Ramirez was a big contributor in every community that he ever visited. Some people, as well as myself could honestly say that Dr. Ramirez always lit up the room when he entered. My sincere prayer's and thoughts go out to the entire Ramirez family. Alice, we all loved Al as a doctor, colleague, and most of all an awesome friend. We will miss you Al!

RIP Al
