Grandpa Ramsey
My Grandpa Ramsey passed away early this morning. He was such a wonderful, kind, giving and happy person. A few of my favorite memories of Granpa are...One that sticks out so much, and I think Lacy and Mike will remember this too...One day Mike, Lacy and I (I think we were between the ages 7 and 10) were all at Grandma and Grandpa's, just playing. We had come in for lunch and of course were we being silly and laughing. Grandpa asked one of us to say the prayer and of course couldn't because we were laughing to hard...then he asked the next one and of couse couldn't because of laughing...then asked the next one of us and of course couldn't becuase of laughing...that's right none of us could because we were trying so hard to keep our giggles in. Grandpa finally said, "I guess I'll say it" with a giant smile on his face. He proceeded to say the prayer and then said the following..."Father please bless these silly kids" - that did it we all just bust out and could not hold it in any more. Even Grandpa started laughing. I don't think we even finished the prayer because we were all laughing to hard. Grandpa could always make us laugh. He was such a happy person with a good joke.
I will always rember the support my Grandpa showed for me and going to all my sporting events. Especailly my softball games. My dad was one of my softball coaches so Grandpa would travel with my dad to all the games. When we went to state in Coeur d' Alene my dad asked coach Jackman if it was alright if Grandpa (our #1 fan) could ride the bus with us - he did. I remember him saying as we were all getting on the bus, "Don't worry about me, I'll just be sitting up here in the front." I don't know why I think that's so funny but I can hear him saying it. Grandpa had a funny way of pointing out the obvious - if you know what I mean.
He would say or do the darndest things and Grandma would say "Good hell, BOB." We would all just laugh right along with him. He is such a wonderful person. I will truly miss him.
His funeral will be at 2:00pm on Feb 14th (Saturday) at the Burley Stake Center. All our welcome.
This is a video that my cousin Mike posted of my Grandpa. It's truly a treasured moment.
