Larry James Ramsey

Our beloved husband,

father, grandfather and

brother died at home

in Laguna Hills after

courageously fighting bone

cancer for three and a half

years. Larry was born in

Los Angeles two years

after his brother John. The

family moved to Eagle

Rock when Larry was in

the 2nd grade and he lived

there through high school.

Larry was an outstanding

athlete and excelled in

football, baseball and track

at Eagle Rock High School.

Last year he was inducted

into the Eagle Rock Hall of Fame at a ceremony attended by

his family and life-long friends and classmates, Bob Johnson,

Spike Burlingame, Americ Hadley and many others.

After two years at Glendale College, Larry was drafted

into the Dodger organization, where he played in the minors

until a serious injury took him out of the game he loved so

much. While playing for the Dodgers, Larry married his

college sweetheart, Gail Frances Jones. They had a son

and daughter, Tom and Jennifer, and shared forty-seven

happy years.

The Ramseys moved to Laguna Hills from Burbank in

1978. They lived a wonderful life in Nellie Gail Ranch, where

they enjoyed horseback riding, tennis and golf. Parties and

holiday celebrations were frequent and well attended by

extended family and close friends.

Larry was a salesman for an industrial products firm for over

30 years and he worked until the last week of his life. His family

is grateful for the support of his employer and co-workers at Kent

H. Landsberg Co.

Larry appreciated and returned the love of his wife’s parents,

Bobs and Tom Jones. He was a devoted grandfather to Scott and

Madelyn Ramsey and Camille and Mark Anthony Calentino.

We will all miss Larry’s quick wit and keen mind. Larry

was a loyal friend and champion both on and off the field.

Larry’s memorial will be held on Saturday, March 20 at

noon in the Chapel at Crossline Community Church, 23331

Moulton Parkway, Laguna Hills, CA 92653, followed by a

gathering of his family and friends at his home at 24761 Red

Lodge Place, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.

In lieu of flowers, his family would appreciate donations to

the Larry Ramsey S’58 Memorial Scholarship, Eagle Rock

High School (ERHS) Scholarship Foundation, P.O. Box

411236, Eagle Rock, CA 90041.
