Ramsay was born on August 28, 1924 on the family farm near Strasbourg, Saskatchewan to Randorf and Mary Bannow. He was adventurous and a bit mischievous as a youth which got him into trouble occasionally at school. In 1942, he got his draft notice, but with two older brothers serving overseas he received a deferral to stay on the farm and and spent winters in the logging camps and and factories of Ontario. After the war he sold his land to his brother Henry and moved to Regina to start a career in the trucking industry. While there he met a young Mary Neigum and they were married July 17, 1948. Together they had 62 years of happy married life living at various times in Regina, St. Joseph’s and Unity, Saskatchewan before retiring to Medicine Hat in 1991. Family and friends who wish to pay their respects may do so at the church on Monday from 10:00 – 10:55 a.m. The funeral service will be held in Holy Family Parish (1451 Strachan Road SE) on Monday, April 22, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow in the Hillside Cemetery.
