James Harrison Ramsden

West Point, 1958

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bill Serchak on August 18, 1998:

To: Rae Ramsden and James, Kim, Mike,and Linda,

Edna Mae and I got the message about Jim's death
on Thursday. Jim was my section leader in Arty Basic course and I learned to appreciate his quiet good nature and sense of humor in trying to keep us newly "freed" cadets in some semblance of order.

I reread Jim's article on his battle with cancer and really admire him for it. Not all of us will be given the time or the courage to fight that last battle in such a way as to inspire our family and others who must surely wonder what it must be like to leave this world someday.

God bless you, Jim, and grant peace and comfort to your family and many friends. You live on in your children and in our memories.

Bill & Edna Mae
