Gerald Penrose RAMSBERGER

i THINK SO OFTEN OF Gerry and what he meant to so many people, especially his ND Classmates. I know
he is smiling down on from above on so many whose lives he had touched. May he be resting in peace.

I spent lots of time during high school at the Ramsberger home with my great friend, Becca. Mr. Ramsberger was a great man. I loved his sense of humor. I truly admired Mr. and Mrs. Ramsberger, like second parents. I always felt welcome and like part of the family. My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. I know he will be missed.

Whew...I can't even begin to put into words to say how much this great man influenced us in that time over 50 years ago. He was the great motivator, funny and the rock we all looked up to. Later, as a teacher, I was proud to join him in the Pinellas teacher's strike. If Coach said it was the right thing to do, well, it was the right thing to do. I felt honored to coach his sons, Pete, Tim and Tom in baseball. Coach Ramsberger, I will never forget you and what you meant to all of us young...

Dear Ramsberger family - your Father was a great and special man. Particularly those of us who knew him at Bogie - we share your loss and extend our heartfelt sympathy.

What a wonderful man and family!!I am so honored to have known him and have been inspired by him. I lost my father at a young age and he was there for me and my two brothers...he meant more than I can write...All whoever met him Mrs. Ramsberger know how special the family was because of them!! Love to Peter, Tim, Tom, Katie, Kerry and Becca..the memories are many and will never be forgotten...

Some men tower above others and never leave the ground, they earn respect by doing and setting the example for others to follow, they cast long shadows that change a future. He will always be an outstanding man, outstanding family, outstanding legacy.

Coach Ramsberger played a role in my life of which he was only partially aware. I played football under Coach Ramsberger and graduated from Boca Ciega in 1957. I recall vividly how Coach demonstrated everyday what a mature, moral man he was. As I continued in my education and became a professor at the University of Florida, the image of this outstanding person was always with me. I had an opportunity to thank him, but I would like his family and friends to know that I credit this gentle and...

Coach was a great moment in my life as a teacher, coach, and most of all, a friend. He had a unique way of inspiring you to achieve your goals. Zera and I will miss his infectious humor. Our condolences and prayers go out to his wonderful family. Special prayers for his wonderful care givers; Katie and Kerrie.
