Bud was born December 7, 1950 in Morristown, NJ. He was the son of the late Donald Ramsey and Elizabeth Van Fleet Ramsey.

A graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University, Bud went on to have a long and successful career in publishing and advertising. Always a skilled athlete, in his younger years he was an avid runner, completing several marathons including the New York City, Chicago, Jersey Waterfront, and Marine Corps marathons.

In 2003, Bud and family traded the cold winters of the Northeast for the warmer climate of the Carolinas. He enjoyed fishing, time with family, acting, and traveling, having recently enjoyed 3 African safaris. He also loved cooking for family and friends. Bud was a kind, gentle, and generous person who will be missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Thomas and James Ramsey.

Bud is survived by his loving wife, Roni Jo McNally Ramsey; children Frank John "Buddy" Ramsey Jr. and wife Karen Ramsey of Bonita Springs, FL; Christine Ramsey and wife Lauren Ramsey of Avondale, PA, and Kevin Ramsey of Charlotte, NC; and four grandchildren, Jake, Ryan, Scarlett, and Nolan Ramsey.

Rest in peace. We love you.
