Richard J. Ramsey, Sr. (Rick), age 72, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2021, surrounded by love and laughter. Rick was born in Fall River, MA and moved to Delaware in 1975. It was here that he started Atlas Welding & Fabrication, Inc. with just a truck, welding machine and a dream. He was able to see it grow to the current success it is today. Rick had traveled the world and seen all the places he wanted to visit in his life; from Mexico to Alaska, Cairo to Scotland and everywhere in between. He created lasting memories for family and friends to share. Rick enjoyed riding his trikes and working on them. He was also a collector, which changed frequently through the years. Rick is survived by his wife of 52 years, Betty-Ann; his children: Richard Ramsey, Jr. (wife, Kimberly), Christopher Ramsey, Sr. (wife, Patricia), and Tracey Ramsey Schmid (husband, Kurt); grandchildren: Britny Buckworth (husband, Kyle), Christopher Ramsey, Jr., Jessica Ramsey, Keith Schmid, and Kole Schmid. He is survived by Zachary Walters and Ashley Walters. He is also survived by his great-granddaughters, Rylynn and Kamrynn. He was preceded in death by his son, Scott David Ramsey; his parents, Victor and Dorothy; and brother, Donald Ramsey. A viewing will be held Friday, February 12, 2021, from 9:30-11 AM at Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Rd., Newark, DE 19702 followed by a service in celebration of Rick’s life at 11 AM.
