Mr. Ramsey, you were such a big part of my life. You were my bus driver. I'm so sad to hear that you've passed. So many of my memories from childhood have you in them. From hauling hay for you, to that time the guy ran into the bus, and you did your best to save us (you did!) to the funny jokes, and popping your dentures out; you kept us kids entertained and laughing.

I appreciate all you did for Ben and I, growing up. I've thought about you, the last couple of years, when I send my daughter to get on the bus.

Love,

"Rafael" (Rachel)

I am so very sad to hear about the passing of Mr.Ramsey. He is the only bus driver I ever remembered having when I attended Lead Hill Schools. I always thought it was so neat when Mr. Ramsey would let us open the bus door to let kids off in the evenings after school. Though I am pretty sure that's not something we were supposed to do, it was a fun job. My prayers go out to Mr. Ramseys family, he will be missed. You were gone way too soon.
