He enjoyed working with his brother Francisco’s sheep shearing crew and also with many of the other local shearing crews. He mostly worked with Pena Shearing crew. In the last 10 years he was a faithful employee to Riverhead Ranch. He loved to hunt, dance and in later years enjoyed playing bingo and going to the casinos. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him.

Those left to honor his memory are his wife, Paula Ramirez of Camp Wood, TX; sister Lucy Sanchez of Mathis, TX; brothers Cristobal Ramirez of Amarillo, TX and Julio and wife Caroline Ramirez of Rocksprings, TX.
