Ramon married the love of his life, Delfina Villalpando, on June 7, 1962, in Mexico. They most recently celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. Throughout their marriage, Ramon worked tirelessly to support his ever growing family. In 1977, they moved to Arizona to begin a new chapter in their lives, ultimately, making their home in Holbrook, Arizona. Ramon worked faithfully for the Holbrook School District for more than 20 years where his was a familiar and friendly face to students and faculty alike. 

Ramon knew the value of hard work and taught his own children by example and, through the sweat of his own brow, the importance of making an honest living. He was a happy man who possessed a bright and cheerful disposition. Ramon was a Christian, in every sense of the word, and lived to serve his family, friends and community. He believed that when he was in their service, he was only in the service of his God. Ramon and Delfina served tirelessly in countless community events and always performed their work with a smile.

Ramon was a family man and always put his family first. He loved to take his family on camping trips and, if there was fishing involved, that was even better. Any fishing hole was his favorite fishing hole. Ramon blessed his family with countless happy memories that will remind them to keep smiling, even during the darkest of days.
