Remembering Bruce Ramsay - submitted by Tim Spring, C1SG - I believe Bruce was a P2WU, he was a quiet guy who pretty much kept to himself. I know he was very much the family man and I believe he and his wife had 5 kids. I remember the night like it was yesterday. The Doc (PO1 McGuire) heard something on sick bay door and when he opened it there was Bruce lying on the deck in great pain. He was having a heart attack. I was on watch when the alarm sounded - in no time they assessed the situation and quickly came to the conclusion to get Bruce ashore.  We went right to flying stations to get him medevaced a quickly as possible. After my watch I remember sitting on some AFFF canisters in the cross flat looking at the sickbay door hoping that Bruce would be okay. When we got the word that Bruce had died that quiet that comes over a ships company when you lose one of your own was everywhere. There is nothing more solemn or sobering than losing a shipmate.
