They were truly boyfriend and girlfriend for all the years they were blessed to be together.īorn and raised on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii, in the city of Wailuku, Ramsay spent his childhood working on his family's farm doing the hard work a farm takes. We always knew where to find Pop the day of a big race-in his favorite chair, in the house he shared with his beautiful bride and best friend of fifty years, Sally. He loved his home and sharing it with those he cared about, always generous in heart and spirit.Ī life-long love of all things related to autos and speed, he followed NASCAR racing and would often go to local drag races throughout his young adult life. A wonderful day for him was time with family and friends, reminiscing about our shared past and creating lasting memories in the present. But more than that, his career as a family man, who loved the simple things in life, is what truly sets him apart as a great provider and the cornerstone of our family. Ramsay's distinguished 42 year career as a Teamster, delivering locally to restaurants in Southern California, is something he was truly proud of. A true Christian with a heart big enough for all who needed him, Ramsay is now in the loving embrace of our Lord, where he is at peace with his oldest son, Ramsay Jr., his parents, Ronald MacDonald Downie and Mary Nicol, as well as his beloved dog, Red. It is with sadness that we tell you of the sudden passing on July 1, 2009, of our beloved Husband, Father, Brother, Grandfather, Uncle, but most of all Friend, Ramsay MacDonald Downie.
