It is with great sadness that we announce the death John Earl (Jack) Ramsden at the University Hospital, London Ontario on Sunday March 1, 2009. Born in Erie Beach in 1931 to the late Charles and Sarah Ramsden, Jack was well known in the community as he owned many businesses. He will be remembered for his many innovations and colorful stories. He will always be thought of as a true fighter. At the age of 20, he was struck by polio and although he was starting out with his young family he always found ways to make an impression on those around him. He was never really handicapped. He is survived by his bride of 58 years Luella (Jeffery), by his children Laurie (Barb), Amy Dalton & Joe Boothe, by his grandchildren Jeff Ramsden (Sandra), Emily Ramsden Stirling (Matt), Bart McClintock (Erin), Beau Dalton and Daisy Dalton as well as his great grandchildren Peyton McClintock and Kaiya Ramsden. Survived by brothers Don Ramsden (June) and Wilmer Ramsden (Connie). Predeceased by his brothers Sylvester and Eric and his sister Jean. Many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends will mourn the passing of John. The Ramsden family invite friends for visitation at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home, 60 Stanley Street, Blenheim for visitation on Wednesday March 4, 2009 from 2 – 5 & 7 – 9 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held at the Funeral Home on Thursday March 5, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. Friends wishing to honour John’s life with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Special Olympics.
