Danny Boy

Once in a generation, a man comes along

whose smile and step bring all to a song

We will always remember our proud, Danny boy

the legacy he left brings our tears and our joy

“the grandfather’s clock”, they shouted with glee

as he tucked them to bed, and they begged on their knees

he sang like a sparrow, a trick from his momma

the heavens stood still, as they sat in pajamas

his children came of age and went town to town

they built mountains too, their numbers had grown

Florida, Illinois, out West or out East

you name a place, a Ramp there will be

He taught all his kindness, he taught all his grin

Stubborn as a lark, he taught all to win

His wife, his true love, held his hand at the end

He couldn’t believe, he had won such a friend

to love him with every word, every bone

to embrace every child, and grandchild as her own

but the old man moved on,

too soon some would say

but generations later they would remember to play

his songs and his sport, to honor his name

They never forgot his life or his game

His billiards, his cards, his little golf cart

They all kept each one, safe in their heart

Now he lies with his parents, smiling with joy

our father, our hero, our proud, Danny boy

    I didn't know Dan well, but respected Peggy and knew she found a good man. Her and their marriage has been an inspiration for me

    Dan Ramp Family,

    He was a good man and friend. He always talked about his family (and golf). We had enjoyed many rounds together and many laughs. Glad I knew him. Again my condolences to entire family.

    Dan was a loving, caring family man who always looked out for others.

    I hope he is on the tee box right now playing the game he loves with all of his family and friend in heaven.

    God welcome my cousin with you loving heart into your kingdom.
