Robert (Bob) Longman Ramsey was born June 6, 1939 to Edward Cool Ramsey and Dorothy Esther Longman in Newton, New Jersey. He peacefully walked into the arms of Jesus on December 20, 2016.
He had to drive from Newton, New Jersey to Fairbanks Alaska to find the love of his life, Dianne Marie Ostnes and married her on November 11, 1963. They had three sons Todd, Lars and Paul. Bob was a hard worker in the construction field as a heavy duty operator, a builder, a welder, and was a good provider for his family. We had an adventurous life together from gold mining in Alaska to building the Kehei Plaza in Maui to building subdivisions in New Jersey to building soil remediation plants in MO and many other accomplishments. Our hobbies included camping, sno-machining, motor cycle riding the trails in AK, to scuba diving and boating in HI, to Para Plane flying in MO, and enjoyed family outings here in MO with our children, grandchildren & friends. He was an amazing husband, father, brother, uncle, grandpa, and mentor to many young men who say they are the men they are today because of Bob.
He leaves behind his wife, Dianne, children Todd (Myra), Lars (Cathy), Paul (Monet) and grandchildren; Allison, Ethan, Meadow, Joseph, Remington Ramsey, and Jackie Garland; his sister, Cyell Hansen and her five children and grandchildren; and many more that call him Papa Bear. He will truly be missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Bob’s Memorial Service will be at Freedom Christian Fellowship, 316 Glory Way in Sarcoxie MO at 7:00 p.m. Thursday December 29, 2016 with Pastor Don Sullivan and Lorraine Peckham officiating. Visitation will be at 6:00 p.m. prior to the service. This obituary was written by his loving wife.
Memorial arrangements are under the direction of Housh-Goodwin Funeral Home in Sarcoxie, MO.
