Robert W. Ramey

85 – Sydney

It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert ‘Bob’ Ramey, 85 of Sydney on Tuesday, May 5, 2015.

Born in Bridgewater, he was the son of the late Fredrick and Evelyn Ramey. The family relocated to Sydney where Bob remained through his life.

Bobby was predeceased by his brother Victor.

Bob worked for 39 years building door and window frames at the Co-op Building Supplies. He had many interests including hunting, fishing, golf and pool. For many years he was an avid bowler in many leagues and tournaments. He loved to spend time in his garden. He spent many hours lovingly tending to his rose bushes and his lawn was without a weed.
