Maurice Ransom Obituary

I talked with Maury several times by phone, and was so impressed with how friendly, helpful and caring he was. He was such a positive influence in the lives of so many throughout the country. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our prayers are with you and your family. May God grant you peace.

AnnEtte and Family,
Our hearts go out to you as you grieve the loss of Maury. I remember your visits to us in NY as well as FL. What fun we had! Of course, Maury always reminded me of our "saxophone days" in High School. God knows our sorrow (Matt.11:28). God knows the sadness that you feel at losing one you loved so very much. May He ease your burden with His tender, loving touch! My prayers are with each of you in the days that follow.

Ann Ette

There are no words to adequately describe how I feel about your tragic loss. While I hadn't seen you and Maury since we visited you in the Springs back in '64 or '65, I have fond memories from our days in school back in the 50's.

Ransom Family:
I am very sorry to hear about Mr. Ransom. Though we haven't kept in touch through the years, he certainly touched our lives in so many ways in the past. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are terribly sorry to have missed the service.

Sincerely,
Denise L King (Bockman)

AnnEtte and family,
Maury was one of those rare people who made you feel like one of his best friends. I will miss his unexpected phone calls and his trips to Nebraska when he would call or stop by. We shared so many ideas and it goes with out saying that he made a distinct difference in the world of Shaklee and everyone he met. He will be missed by many.

To Ann Ette and Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I am happy that Shelly, Jessica, and I got to spend time with Maury at the Shaklee Convention two years ago. You and your family are in my prayers.

Annie and family,

Two great guys named “Maury,” together in heaven! It makes me smile.

Maury came to teach, and teach HE DID! I was a willing student.
I have memories for a lifetime. Thank You, MER.
Sending love and light to you and your family. Karleen

Ann Ette, we are so sorry about Maurie. Somehow we missed the announcement, and did not know about your loss until someone said, "where were you?" Denise and I send love and sympathy to you, Shari, Ronda & Karla; we will be thinking of you often.

My wife and I met Maury through Sam and Deanna Baldwin, when we were living in Colorado Springs. It was the Shaklee connection. Maury and his family were always there for my wife Donna and I. He helped us out several times with support information for Donna about her MS problems. We visited them about 5 years ago and he and Ann Ette had to take us to the Hospital, because Donna had an episode while we were visiting them. As always the one to be ready to help in any situation. We will miss him very much.

To the Ransom Family,
As a fellow Shaklee member, all Shaklee folk, known to me or not, are akin to family and so I offer you my deepest sympathies in your loss.
Peace and many blessings be to you and yours, from me and mine.
Sincerely,
Mare

My connection to Maury was through Shaklee. Maury had a big heart and a warm generous spirit. Heaven is graced and our world is a little less bright. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Ann Ette and family.

Thank you for your kindness and for sharing your knowledge and tools with the Shaklee family.

We knew Maury through the laminate and feel the loss of a Shaklee "brother". Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the family.

We loved Maury's spirit and enthusiasm. He gave so much encouragement to the Shaklee field.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Such a giving, patient man. He gave his time to help me with my Shaklee business. I must not let his time be wasted.

Maury, you know I love you!!! Your life has been a blessing to my life and has allowed me to blossom since I joined you and AnnEtte on Earth Day 1993. I thank you for being the exuberant triple Aires man you were, on fire for Shaklee, Living and your Lord! You certainly got us all going, sometimes in 5 directions at once!! I expect you to be there when it is my time and help show me the way. Love You Always, your secretary who is not so shy anymore, Deb

My sincere condolences to Maury's family at this time. I never met him but was in on more than one Shaklee call where he made himself available for those of us in the Field who benefited from the simple wisdom of his 'Ladder of Health'. It is still a tool that I use today. Thanks Maury - you will be missed not only by your birth family, but also by your Shaklee family.

Maury was a sharing person. We had the privilege of having dinner with him in Orlando where he graciously shared the Laminate. Our prayers are with the family at this time.
God Bless You.

Maury was a great inspiration to us.Our daughter was living in Colorado Springs and I was having a meeting for her. He came over and helped me with it. He will be so missed. You have our deepest sympathy. Earl and Jo Ann Haynes

Our sympathy to you and your family.

Amen to all the positive thoughts people have expressed about our beloved Maury. The memories we have of Maury and you, Ann Ette, at various Shaklee functions, are treasured and priceless. One that stands out is our week together in Maui before the Shaklee Convention, and how we got matching couple outfits! Yours and Maury's were one color, and ours a different color. Phil always called Maury "the Energizer Bunny!" He said maybe Maury knew his life would be short, and that's why he lived life on "Fast forward." Someone put it well when they said we should not so much grieve that such a man has died as to rejoice that such a man has lived. So we rejoice we had the privilege of knowing and loving Maury, and join you, his family, in celebrating his life.
Love and prayers, Phil and Karla Kroeker

Friendships are glorious things. And we, like everyone else who knew them, have treasured our many years of friendship with Maury and Ann Ette. They always offered their friendship so easily and generously, and it was a joy to hear their voice on the phone or to be with them in person. Yes, Maury was the exuberant one -- the irrepressible, enthusiastic, happy-as-a-clam, alive! one who had a million innovative ideas and wanted to share them all ---- always for the good of the other person. He loved Ann Ette, he loved Shaklee and he loved life. With his own unique little chuckle and that irrepressible grin, he told us his philosophy of life in one brief sentence. “I’m so much fun, I can’t imagine life without me!” What a wonderful epitaph! That was Maury. They just don’t come along in life very often like Maury. We will miss him greatly, but we will give thanks for being blessed by his sharing part of his precious time and life with us.

Anne Ette,
I'm so sorry for this great loss. I loved Maury like a grandpa and will keep you both in my prayers.

With love,

Dear Ann Ette and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of your loss. The
days and months ahead will be difficult but your memories of Maury will keep him close.
I had only spoken to Maury once by phone with the Laminate but felt that he was quite a special person.
He was so vibrant and full of life, and willing to give of his time and talents.

May God Bless you all,
Denise and Michael Spatafore

It's just like Maury to be aheaad
of all of us. I have enough memories
tilll we meet again...

Dear Ann Ette and Family,
While no words can ease your loss, I would like you to know that we are grieving with you and thinking about you. All of us who knew Maury will always remember him with respect and admiration. He had such enthusiasm for life and was fun to be around.
Anne Ette, I know the love of family and friends will comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead.
Our prayers are with you.

Dear Ransom Family:

I felt like I knew Maury, after *only* listening to a couple of his tapes. He was so personable, that listening to a tape was truly getting to know him. I sent an e-mail and ordered the Laminate, and he was so gracious as to respond to my gushing about how great I thought his talk was. My family comes from Nebraska, as well, and got involved with Shaklee after we came to Colorado Springs, so I have looked at Maury as a friendly uncle ever since.

We will hold you in our thoughts and prayers in these coming days. They are sure to be overwhelming. Please know that even those who never met Maury will miss him.

We are so sorry for your loss. Matt and I only knew Maury through our telephone consults, but could feel his enthusiasm and zest for helping others. What a gift he shared with so many! He will be deeply missed by the shaklee family.

My loss of Maury is Heaven's gain.
My sympathies to your family.
Thank You for sharing your Shaklee expertise to the entire field.
God's comfort be with you.

Our Sincere Sympathy to you, Ann Ette, and to your family.
May God Bless you and keep you in His Care.

Memories keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought
and always in your heart,
today and forever.

Dear Ransom Family,
I am so very sad to hear about Maury. I will forever have etched in my mind and heart what a vibrant, enthusiastic and positive person he was! I remember how inspired I was after every time I'd come to your house or hear him speak at a meeting! If the world were full of Maury Ransoms, the word pessimist would not exist! I pray that your many wonderful and loving memories of him will comfort you now and forever. He will truly be missed by so many. Love,

Ransom Family,
Mike and I are so sorry for your loss. We only knew Maurey over the phone through Shaklee, but he was always uplifting and helpful to us. We will remember you in our prayers, and we know that God will comfort you during this difficult time.

To the Ransom Family,

Maury was a great example of an entreprenuer following his belief in helping others create a better life. I had heard of his name and stellar achievements in Shaklee, and had no idea I was sitting next to him at an event in Denver. He introduced himself to me, and my response was, "YOU'RE Maury?!?" Great moment. God Bless, he will be missed by his Shaklee family.

So sorry to hear about your loss.
I only knew Maury through the "Laminate" What a giving person he was.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Ann Ette,
My sincere sympathy to you and your family as you cope with your loss. I met Maury through Shaklee and his work with The Laminate and Future Cards. He was inspirational in his positive attitude about life. If we measure the meaning of our lives by the number of lives we touch, then Maury certainly lived a life of great significance.
With sympathy,

Maury’s
Aim in life was to share his
Unfailing love for Jesus & Shaklee.
Resting in His arms now, Maury,
Your legacy will live on in
So many appreciative hearts!

May his inspiration continue to help us all to fulfill our God-given purpose. (John 10:10b)

Ann Ette, Shari, Ronda & Karla,

We are very sad to hear the news of your dad. Our prayers are with you all during this time. The comfort is knowing that he is with the Lord.

Love,
Kendra, Bill, Brittany & Shawn Armstrong

Ann Ette - My sincere prayers and sympathy go out to you. I listened to Maury speak over the phone regarding "the Laminate" many times. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Shaklee convention in Washington, DC. Even though I didn't know him well, he touched my life. He was so thoughtful and helpful to anyone in Shaklee. Just a great person to be in the presence of. He will be greatly missed. God Bless you and your family.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We are thinking of you. Much love and prayers.

Ann Ette, Ronda & Bill,

Sometimes the hurt is too big for words. But our thoughts of heartfelt sympathy are with you & your family.

Ken and I offer our deepest condolances. Maurie was a great man whose soul purpose was to help those around him. He was vibrant and full of spirit. He will be greatly missed. My blessings to Anne Ette, Deb and the family.

Truly one-of-a-kind, Maury will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched. His exuberance for the things he was passionate about was and will continue to be an inspiration to us all. AnnEtte and family, we pray that you will find comfort and peace in God's love and in the caring of everyone who knew and loved Maury.

We lift you all in prayer to seek comfort in Him...you are in our hearts!!!

Ann Ette - I am sorry to learn from Barbara Cotter today of Maury's passing. I remember Maury as a happy high school friend and one of my favorite basketball players.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ronda and Bill:

My heart and thoughts are with you,

Ransom family,

We extend our condolences to the entire Ransom family for your loss. My kids vividly remember how much fun Maurie was during our vacation to Colorado to visit Bill and Ronda two years ago. We'll continue to remember you in our prayers!

Sincerely,
Bart, Jan, Brett, Steve, and Kristen Hornung
