Vincent DesmondRAMPLINVincent Ramplin, known as Vin or Vinnie was born
November 6, 1944, and died 18 February, 2026, aged 81 years old.
He leaves behind his wife & the love of his life, Shirley and his 3 children - Sharon and Carl, and Jessie.
He loved spending time with his family, watching football and loved a quiet lunchtime drink in his local pub with his mates.
We believe he was the first 18 year old recruit into DFRS when the age limit was reduced from 21. He spent 30 years in the service with 23 years at Long Eaton Fire Station and later in his career he became a training officer for 7 more years and enjoyed bringing on the new recruits, ending his career at Ilkeston Fire Station.

After the funeral service all are welcome to join the family at
