Mr. Ramsey was a cherished member of our family. We had many great times together and cherished our friendship with him. He was a wonderful man and we are proud to have been a part of his life. He was a surrogate Grandpa to Hailey and was always there for our entire family. We will miss his walks and our talks.

I only met Beul a few times, and found him to be a delightful, gentle, gracious caring man. I'm grateful for the chance to have known him. I know his sister Josie well and know he has been a wonderful brother, father and grandfather and I know he will be deeply missed.
