George Ramier

Ramier, George Robert II "Bob" Bob Ramier, 51, of Minneapolis, died surrounded by loved ones on October 21, 2007, after a courageous struggle with dementia and Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). He will be greatly missed. Born August 8, 1956, in Lafayette, Louisiana, to Ellen Olivier Ramier and George Robert Ramier. Bob moved to Minneapolis when he was seven but loved going back for visits to the South. Bob served in the US Navy, attended the University of Minnesota and Dunwoody Institute, and was the sole proprietor of his own carpentry business for almost 30 years. Bob married Natalie Kunstman of Minneapolis in October of 2003. He treated Natalie's son, Sean, as if he were his own, and in January, 2005, they had one daughter, Alexa Grace, now two. Beloved by all, Bob was a wonderful carpenter, loved traveling with his family, was an avid reader, a great cook, loved to play cards, relished music, art and life. Bob was a member of AA and had been sober for 22 years. He had worked and volunteered at Habitat for Humanity. Bob had a good sense of humor and was a thoughtful and faithful friend to all. His patience, humility and generosity were a gift to all those around him and his faith was innocent and unwavering. Not long after Bob's initial diagnosis, he stated he would be in heaven soon. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Natalie, son, Sean, daughter, Alexa, his parents, George and Ellen Ramier, his siblings, Dan (Angela), Tim (Pia), Joe (Mary), Peggy (Dan), Suzie (Richard), Michelle (Jon), and Tom (Leslie), nephews and nieces, Thales, Jessica, Finn, Jacqueline, George, Seppo, Wesley and Frankie, in-laws, Jean and Steve Schwarz, Linda and Doug Peterson, Hilary and Bret Walters, MacKenzie, Ana, a large family and loving friends.
