It has been one year since that day last July that I lost my Dad. I remember that day and the weeks leading up to so clearly. But that’s not what I want to remember today. What I want to remember was all the great times we shared, and how he made me into the man that I am today. Anyone who posted on the forums will remember the great trips that Dad use to write about. The trips we made to Round Rock, San Antonio, Shreveport, and Little Rock in what he called the Y2K Silverado. We would always get to the games early, usually before the parking lot attendants arrived, and be the first ones in the gate. I will never forget our last game we went to together. It was a hockey game, December 27, 2006, Dads 63rd birthday, Houston Aeros vs. San Antonio Rampage. His health was in more of a rapid decline at the time, and we had not been to a game in awhile. I went to whisper something to him during the National Anthem. He quotes the movie Slapshot, “I am trying to hear the Fu%^ing song!” That moment was just priceless, it summed it all up. Dad was who he wanted to be and said what he wanted, and I am damn proud to call him my Dad.
On a personal note many things have happened in the last 365 days to Lamearms family. Mrs. Lamearm (Mom) has left the Houston area and now living back in her native Oklahoma with family. We talk everyday and she is doing well. Ed is back working on the West Coast, enjoying the great weather, and working with friends. Chris is traveling all over the country, making a success of his business. Steve, has stayed in Houston, and keeps to himself. As for me, June 7, 2008 was the happiest day of my life. That was the day I married the woman of my dreams, the love of my life Kara. Kara has been welcomed into my family with open arms. She is unquestionably a loved and welcomed member of the Lamearms, I mean Ramsey’s.
On behalf of my family and we would like to thank you for all the great times each of you shared with Dad. Also, thank you for the honor of Lamearm Lane. That was an unbelievable gesture and we cannot thank you enough.
