Sidney Walter Ramm

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Sidney Ramm on February 26, 2018 at Health Sciences Centre with his family by his side. Sid will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Mea, his son Alan and daughter-in-law Cynthia, and his granddaughter Jersey who was his pride and joy. He is survived by his parents Walter and Doreen Ramm, his sisters Linda Ducharme (Dennis) and Nancy Peters (Brad) and his brothers Gilbert (Florence) and Albert (Dianne). Sid will also be missed by his sisters-in-law, Bonny Gee, Donna Kirby (Phil) and Vea Scollan (John). He is also survived by several nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Sid was predeceased by his 5 year old daughter Kathryn from Cystic Fibrosis, his brother Paul and sister-in-law Raymonde, his brothers-in-law Bill and John and his mother and father-in-law Margaret and Jim Kirby. Sid earned his Journeyman Plumber’s ticket in 1972 and worked as a plumber for many years. Even when he stopped plumbing he was always helping someone out with theirs. Sid really enjoyed puttering and it didn’t matter if it was doing yard work or building things. He was meticulous and always wanted to make sure things were done properly. If there is a word to describe Sid it would be “Kind”, always putting others first and lending a helping hand. As a friend said “he was one of the good ones”. As requested by Sid, there will not be a service. Instead, family has held a private celebration of Sid’s life. The family thanks the doctors and nurses of GH7 for their compassionate care of Sid during his final days. Special thanks to Gil for his support over the past several weeks. Flowers gratefully declined. Those wishing to make a charitable donation in memory of Sid may do so at Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation at cancercarefdn.mb.ca or Cystic Fibrosis Canada at cysticfibrosis.ca.
