Joe my brother-in-law, One of the most nicest person ever. He will be missed… Were there more people like him in this world it would be a better place… God Blessed us with him…..
My grandfather was a great man. He was unselfish and so caring of others. And even though i didnt get to say goodbye Im sure he knew that i wanted to be by his side every second. I love him more than life itself and he will always be in my heart.
well what can i say about my dad that those who knew and loved him already know.the last 3 months of his existence i was able to spend every day with him and i will forever be grateful for the time i was able to have with him. my dad was an awesome father who would give you the shirt off his own back he would just ask you what size you wore. if you needed 2 dollars he’d give you 20.thats the kind of man he was.i or we i should say will definetly miss him. my girls(lorraine & daughter Abigail) got real close to him and it was hard for them to see him go.My dad to me was like Superman A man of steel but like superman his downfall was Kryptonite. and cancer was my dads kryptonite. Dad We LOVE & miss you. until we meet again Dad .Your CHIEF Johnny .
My Grandfather was always a working man, from the beginning to the very end. And now he’s finally getting the rest and eternal happiness that he deserves. Those of us that are still here are better for knowing him and speechless at the loss of him. What more can I say about somebody who raised and taught me? I still cannot grasp the concept of never seeing him again. The hardest part is that when I come to visit Nana, I still look to the room half the time expecting to see him sitting at the edge of the bed reading his books or watching his westerns. Grandfather, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, wishing that we could do the repairs on your house together again like we did before or to just watch one more Cowboys game with you, no matter how bad they’re doing right now, but I’m gonna do my best and apply everything you ever showed me to everything I do. I’ll always miss you.
Our brother-in-law was a very nice person with a great heart.Very caring husband,father,grandfather and friend.All those years that he was married to my sister Mary,We really didn’t know him that well.Until they spent those last months here in San Antonio.My sister was Blessed to have him as her husband.I know the Lord received him with open arms.Now the “Lord” will take care of Mary and He will never leave her or forsake her. “GOD BLESS” Love you Bea and family
My Babe, I love you very much and miss you but i know you are in a better place where there no hurt or pain. I just wanted to let you know it’s been very lonely for me just thinking your not here with me and I well miss you more on christmas day. You ask me before you pass away if you were gonna see Christmas. And i said yes’ but you didn’t but you have the best sit in the house from heaven and in the best place.Where you can see everything from above. But you are in spinrt with me and in my heart i love you and miss you your wife Mary A. Ramones P.S I love you always
Tio you will be greatly missed. Thanks for being there for all of us and for being such a nice and special person. miss you la familia Robles-Hernandez
Dear Grandfather, I remember when I first met you.. You and Nana were the first in Michael’s family that I had the pleasure of meeting. I felt welcomed into his family because of you and Nana.. I will always miss you and think of you. I am very grateful that Michael, Jason, Aidan, and Natalie and myself got to see you before that fateful night.. We will remember you always and I will always be grateful to have had you in my life, if only for a few years.. but they were great years. :)
Dad, I will always cherish the memories of your visit to Ky. You were a truly amazing man. I feel truly blessed to having known you. Love you Gail C Ramones
Dad, its hard to imagine or much less fathom the thought of you not being physically here anymore. As a child I remember always seeking your approval and always trying to do the best that I could, no matter what it was. Your approval meant everything to me. As I grew older I wanted to make you proud of me, so that your work and guidance was worth your time and effort. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but not once did you make me feel as though I was a failure. On the contrary, all you said was just try harder the next time and dont make the same mistake again. I remember you saying, its not what you did going down that matters, is what you do when you get up, now thats what counts. To Dad life offered many lessons, some we learn the hard way yet some have to be taught. Those of you, who know Dad, can remember that he was always teaching or willing to teach. All you had to do was just listen, watch, and learn. My only regret that I have is, I should have listened more and spoke less. When I was about 16 years old, we gave a ride to this old man that was always pushing a cart downtown. It was while I was working at the Aztec building. Anyway long story short, we gave him a ride because Dad felt the need to offer him a ride. Well you can imagine, the man smelled, he was a little wet because it had been raining and he lived a pretty good distance from downtown. When we got to his house, well lets just say it looked more like a shack. He offered Dad some money but you guessed it, Dad refused as a matter of fact Dad gave him some money. Well as we left to go home I asked Dad why we gave him a ride in the first place because now the car smelled pretty ripe. The moment I opened my mouth I thought I was going to get a lecture or worse. What Dad said next, well I can still hear his words. Son as you can see, he doesnt have much and it didnt take a long time to get here. As for the smell maybe he doesnt have running water. He is disabled so he cant work, thats why he pushes a cart to pickup whatever he can in order to sell it for money. Thats how he makes a living but at least its honest. Tonight when we get home, thank God that we have a good home, food to put on the table, water to take a bath, and money to pay our bills. We need to help people whenever we can, thats what you do when youre a man. I have never forgotten that lesson and I will always hang on those words, Thats what you do when youre a man. These are just a few stories and believe me I could go on and on about Dad. Yes even though hes gone, he will never be forgotten. His lessons live on, his words live on, and his memory will forever be imbedded in our hearts and in our minds forever. Dad I said this once before but I just wanted to let you know that, it has been my privilege to be called your son, but it is my honor to call you Dad! There will never be a good-bye, but instead I will just say see you later. I will continue to seek your approval and until I die, will continue to make you proud of me. I love you Dad, always! Your Son, Joey
