"To the family of Mr. Luis Ramos, It is with profund sadness that I express to you my sincere condolences regarding the loss of your Father, Grandfather and friend. I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Ramos personally. However, I know his son James (Jim) my brother in-law who is also my brother. If Jim life mirrors his Dad's life, I am sure Mr. Luis was filled with grace, goodness and honor. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. With Sympathy and love Rosa Scott Creal"

"Mr Ramos was a pillar of the community. Supplying the first Latino supermarket in Rochester. The Ramos family also helped fund the first radio station in the area for Latin music and information. I spent many days in Ramos supermarket eating potato chips and drinking soda with my good friend Jimmy. LOL not to mention how many times he chased me halfway home LOL. Much love and respect for the Ramos family ??"
