George Humberto Ramos

HE PEACEFULLY PASSED AT OUR HOME IN ALTA LOMA, CALIFORNIA

SURROUNDED BY ALL WHO LOVED HIM.

BORN IN IXTLAN, NAYARIT MEXICO, SON OF RAMON AND EVANGELINA

RAMOS. HE GREW UP IN EL SERENO AND GRADUATED FROM CATHEDRAL

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1968. HIS EARLY YEARS WERE MEMORABLE AND

HE SPOKE HIGHLY OF EVERYONE.

AT THE TELEPHONE COMPANY HE MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, LETTY.

SOON AFTER HE ENTERED INTO HER WORLD OF 5 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN

WHO HE HELPED RAISE AND ADORED. QUICKLY THE FAMILY GREW WITH 3 CHILDREN

OF HIS OWN, QUICKLY THE FAMILY GREW ENTITLING HIM AS A FATHER OF 8, GRANDPA

OF 25 GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDPA OF 5 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN WITH ONE

MORE SOON TO ARRIVE; ALL CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE OF LAUGHTER AND EXCITEMENT.

HE WAS HAPPY TO RETIRE IN THE YEAR 2000...YET SOON AFTER TO

DISCOVER HE HAD STAGE 4 KIDNEY CANCER. WE DID NOT LET THAT

STOP OUR JOURNEY. WE ACCEPTED IT AND CONTINUED WITH OUR

TRAVELS, LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST. PERIODICALLY FOR 25 YEARS,

HE HAD 7 SURGERIES IN DIFFERENT AREAS ALL STAGE 4 CANCERS. THIS

CONTINUED TO INTERRUPT OUR LIVES FOR SHORT PERIODS. YET AGAIN,

HE LEARNED TO CONQUER EVERY SURGERY IN TIME AND PROVED

THE DOCTORS WRONG ON HIS LIFE EXPECTANCY. WE CONTINUED

AS A UNITED FAMILY UNIT ALWAYS WITH POSITIVE VIBES.....YES IT

WAS A TOUGH BATTLE EACH TIME, YET WE GOT STRONGER AND

MORE UNITED. WE EVEN JOKED AND SAID..NAME AN ILLNESS AND

HE HAD IT...BUT HE NEVER GAVE UP THE POSSIBILITY OF A CURE.

EVERY KAISER HOSPITAL KNEW HIM AND CALLED HIM, 'THE MIRACLE

PATIENT.' TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF BATTLING WITH STAGE 4 CANCER

AND HE ACCEPTED IT AND NEVER COMPLAINED.

HE ALSO NEVER STOPPED WORKING. HE BECAME A REALTOR,

FLIPPING AND RESTORING HOUSES FOR RE-SELL AND ALL OUR

NEIGHBORS CAME TO OUR HOME TO BORROW TOOLS ETC. WE

WERE BETTER STOCKED THAN HOME DEPOT.

A LIFE WELL LIVED-FULL OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER.. AND AS A PROUD

MARRIOTT PLATINUM TRAVELER, ALWAYS PULLING OUT THE RED

AT EVERY STOP -SHARING HIS TRAVELS WITH EVERYONE.

HE WAS KIND AND TRULY LOVED US UNCONDITIONALLY.

THE BEST LESSON HE TAUGHT US AND EVERYONE THAT

KNEW HIM ...IS THAT LIFE ON EARTH IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND

A PREPARATION OF THE BEST LIFE THAT AWAITS US IN HEAVEN.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY LOVE, REST IN PEACE.
