He married his sweetheart Sarah on August 2, 1947, after returning from war and made it to just shy of 66 years of marriage before the passing of his wife Sarah (July 8th, 2013). They had 2 daughters, Charlotte ( April 30, 2012) and Marie. He has 2 Granddaughters and 6 Great Grandchildren and 5 Great Great Grandchildren.
After returning from war and getting married, Ramon and Sarah started building their life together. They had their first Daughter in 1948, and a few years later decided to travel west to Southern Nevada and settled here in Henderson. Ramon worked at The Nevada Test Site for a few years and then joined the carpenters union and went on to work at the Stardust Hotel and Casino from 1961 to 1990 where he eventually retired.He was one month away from receiving his 75-Year union pin. When the union heard of his passing, they sent out his pin.
Ramon proudly served our country in the U.S. Army from 1944 through 1951. Where he served in WW11, where he served as a gunner on a 75mm and 76mm gun mounted tank. Army Reserves and the Korean War. He never told stories of his service just a few things here and there, just enough so you could piece things together.
Ramon enjoyed watching boxing and was a fan of the little guys, the welterweights and light weights and stayed up many late nights watching boxing after everyone went to bed. He also enjoyed listening to music, especially big-band while he sat outside on the patio. With his carpenter skills he enjoyed working with his tools making wood crafts and fixing old furniture.
Ramon truly was a special person, a shoulder to lean on and a voice of reason without judgment. One thing that will be missed by all that knew him was his teasing he alway tried to confuse you with his antics. His 95 years that we were blessed to have with him will fill our heart with love and memories to have forever, but also will leave a hole that can not be filled.
