Paul, our sincerest condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father and such a wonderful person. So many fond memories of him coaching us during our Boy’s Club days and all those years that followed. Losing a loving father is profoundly difficult and painful but “blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

With sympathy,
Jack & Susan Heethouse

I was a student of Mr. Ramirez and also had the pleasure of working for him on his residential landscape. John (as I reluctantly called him) was social studies teacher, wonderful person, and quite an accomplished 440yd runner , I understand. I will also miss him and will plant a Red flowering Kousa dogwood in his honor
Sincere condolences,
Brian Avdek
