He was a dedicated and devoted husband, beloved father, loving grandfather, proud great-grandfather. Mr. Ramos proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. Mr. Ramos developed a passion for politics and became an active member in the local campaigning and election process. Mr. Ramos was a member of the Santo Nombre Society at San Luis Rey Church. “Welo” will always be remembered by his family for pulling pranks on his loved ones, his unique sense of humor, his daily afternoon naps, and always having “pan dulce” to offer whenever anyone stopped by.
