Ramon was born March 22, 1935, in Poplar, Montana, to Herbert and Alice Bergam. The family moved to the Nyssa area around 1942. Ramon graduated from Nyssa High School in 1953 as class president. Ramon enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Germany for 18 months.
After being honorably discharged from the Army, Ramon went to college in Corvallis at Oregon State University where he met Beverly Goodman. Ramon and Beverly were married in Corvallis on June 14, 1958. Ray and Bev moved back to the Ontario area later the next year to start a family. Ramon was employed by the Oregon State Police where he worked out of the Ontario office for 23 years before taking a medical retirement in 1983. While working for the OSP, Ramon received a degree in law enforcement from Treasure Valley Community College.
Ramon enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping, golf, bowling, playing with his grandchildren and spending time with his family. Dad was a terrific mentor, showing the boys how to put a night crawler on a hook, how to field dress a deer, and how to hit the perfect slice with a golf club. He also cherished visits from his sister and brothers and always looked forward to summer family reunions.
Ramon is survived by his wife of 44 years, Beverly, Ontario; three sons, Brian and Grace, Greg and Suzanne, and Mark Bergam, all of Ontario; one sister, Marlene and Frank Kom, Bakersfield, California, four brothers, Donald, Salinas, California, Lurelle and Shirley, Bakersfield, California, Jimmy and Arlene, Richland, Washington, Roger and Sandra, Salinas, California, seven grandchildren and 12 nieces and nephews.
Ramon was preceded in death by his parents and infant granddaughter, Brittany.
