“I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend Claude Ramsey. I had the privilege of serving with him in the Haslam Administration and he always offered wise and insightful advice. He was a motivator who brought out the good in everyone. No one was better with people than Claude. My sympathies to Jan and the Ramsey family.”
