I am so deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Buddy's passing. Pop and Nana were such a huge presence in my life along with the entire Ramsey Family. At times I thought we were related. That is certainly how you all made me feel.
Dearest Bob, Lynda, Shirley, Robert and extended Family, may you find comfort in loving memories of a life well lived. Pop will be missed by many and the lasting impressions that he made on each of us will always be remembered and cherished. May God embrace you all and hold you close in the days ahead.
