Obituary of Max Ramey

A. Max Ramey Of Bridgewater. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Max at the Veteran’s Unit of the Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital, Lunenburg after a long trial with Alzheimers disease. Born in Bridgewater, he was the son of the late Arthur and Violet (MacIntosh) Ramey. He was twin brother to the late Marjorie (Bland) Ramey who passed away in 1980. He is survived by his wife Martha (Goulden) Ramey and his only daughter Maxine Ramey. He is the last surviving member of his immediate family. After receiving his education at the Bridgewater High School and Bridgewater Commercial School, he enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and served overseas in the Second World War with the 402 Fighter Squadron as an armourer and gunner. Upon his return home to Bridgewater, he began working for CKBW Radio and was chief announcer there for many years, after which he was a sales-representative for Canada Life Assurance Company, until becoming ill in 1996. During his lifetime he excelled in music and sports. He was a devoted husband and father for 55 years. He trusted in God and the Bible and was comfort to those around him. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the dedicated nurses and support staff of the Veteran’s Unit as well as to Dr. McAulay. The unit provided a safe and pleasant environment for Max. His dignity throughout his illness will forever be a beacon of strength for his family. A public Legion Tribute service will be held 7pm Thursday in Sweeny’s Funeral Home, Bridgewater. There will be no visitation at the funeral home. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimers Society of Nova Scotia, 5954 Spring Garden Rd., Halifax, NS, B3H 1Y7 or the charity of your choice.
