Putnam County Interact Club and FFA dedicate tree and bench to former technology director

The Putnam County Interact Club and FFA planted a Green Mountain Sugar Maple and installed a memorial bench on the school’s campus to honor former technology director Dan Ramirez.

Ramirez was a beloved member of the Putnam County community and served as technology director for the school district from 2019-21. Ramirez died in October 2021.

Ramirez was known for his kind smile, willingness to help others and ability to make everyone feel that their technology issue was a top priority, according to a school news release, which said he made people feel important and he listened carefully.

Outside of school, Ramirez was a member of the Putnam County Rotary, an organization that provides humanitarian services.

According to Putnam County rotarians, Ramirez was involved in many community service activities and enjoyed working with fellow Rotarians and valued the camaraderie.

PCHS students, staff, teachers, administration and school board members and members of the PC Rotary attended the dedication event.
