I was so fortunate to know and work with Ric Ramirez. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing. He was a truly great man who loved his family beyond measure. He served as a board member when I worked at the Education Service Center, 2. He was always fair, kind, understanding, and above board in all of his actions. He and Cynthia would talk about their children and the pride they had in each of them. Ric will be missed. He and his family will be in my prayers. May God rest his kind soul.
