Robert \u201cBob\u201d Ramey passed away on March 7, 2015, in Gainesville. Before his retirement from the University of Florida in 1982, Ramey was an associate dean of UF College of Engineering, a professor of electrical engineering, as well as computer and information science, the founding chairman of the Computer and Information Science Department, and associate director of the Engineering & Industrial Experiment Station. His contributions to the expansion of the college over the 1960s and 70s were substantial, and continue to affect the quality of programs offered. His family recalls he was most proud of an award he received from UF\u2019s Minority Student Association for substantially increasing minority student enrollment at the university.<\/p>\n
