Ramon was born in a small town in Puerto Rico known as Maricao where the population was about 7,000 when he was born in 1941.

His parents, Belen Hernandez and Francisco Gonzalez combined had six children six girls, Auroa, Elohida, Elena, Haydee, Minerva, Lucy, and one male, Ramon. Due to humble beginnings and financial challenges, Ramon had a limited education, but this didn’t discourage him from making a better life for himself and later for his family.

On or about 1961 he left Puerto Rico to pursue a better life and ended up in the Bronx, New York. In 1961 he met Miriam Curio who he wedded in 1962 and together they raised four children; Norma, Margie (who are fraternal twins), Daniel and years later Lenin. They honored their wedding vows and were married until “death do us part,” 58 years. His wife departed over 2.5 years before him, leaving him a widow at 79 years of age.

Ramon was a hardworking man, who worked, at times two jobs, and did what he needed to do support his family. He raised his family and worked in Queens, New York for 57 years before retiring to Florida. He was a quiet man who spent more time listening to conversation than participating. He enjoyed maintaining the outside greenery and playing with the Rookie (those who knew him well knows who the Rookie is.) He showed his love not by words, but by action and lead by example.

He leaves behind his four sisters and four children mentioned above, five grandchildren: Jessica, Gabrielle, Antonio, Sebastian, and Danielle; and two great grandchildren, Leon and Ivy.

He will be terribly missed but he will never be forgotten.
