Harvie Ramsay
Harvie Ramsay died on April 24, 2000. He died very suddenly, from a brain hemorrhage on the eve of the Labour process conference in Glasgow.Harvie was an outstanding colleague at the human level, so deeply and actively involved in both scientific and social fields. He was such a good friend, nice person, and a strong fighter politically and intellectually. It is a great loss to us and to the whole scientific community.
Ake Sandberg wrote a few words in the name of RC10 members that were read at the funeral:Harvie,We, some of your many, many friends and colleagues in the international community of researchers, share the grief of your close friends and your family. We want to express our grief as well. It is difficult to understand and believe. You have been such an important part of researchers' endeavor to contribute to a better world of work and a better life for working people, men and women, all over the world. And through your work already published and through your way of being, your intelligence and enthusiasm you will be living among us in our thoughts and our work, inspiring us and coming generations. Thank you Harvie.(Taken from RC10 newsletter number 38)
