January 30, 1945 – May 22, 2016

Jack G. Ramsey, Jr., 71, passed away on May 22, 2016 at the Solara Hospital in Harlingen, Texas.

He was born on January 30, 1945 in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Jack G. and Clarine (Hegseth) Ramsey, Sr. His early childhood years were spent in the Dallas, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana areas.  Jack graduated from Clayton High School, Clayton, Wisconsin in 1963.  He worked local jobs until 1965 when he joined the Andersen Corp team in Bayport, Minnesota.

He resided in the Clear Lake and Clayton area until his retirement in 2000 when he moved to the Trego area and begun enjoying this new chapter of his life.
