Antonio Ruiz-Ramos

June 13, 1956 - November 12, 2014

ALBANY, N.Y. – Antonio “Tony” Ruiz Ramos, 58, passed away Wednesday Nov. 12, 2014 after a brief illness. Born on June 13, 1956 in Maunabo, Puerto Rico, he was the son of Amelio and Maximina Ruiz Ramos. After graduating high school in Maunabo, Tony moved to Miami, Fla., where he attended school, taught himself English, and held a variety of jobs. He later moved to New York City where he completed his education at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, earning an associate’s degree in accounting. Tony moved to the Glens Falls area in 1994, seeking a quieter life in a place that reminded him of the tranquility of his homeland. For nearly 20 years, he worked faithfully as a Wal-Mart Sales Associate, starting his Wal-Mart career in Queensbury and later transferring to Wal-Mart Saratoga. At both locations, Tony was known for his reliability and his smile, which will be missed by many. In his spare time, he loved attending horse races in Saratoga, swimming and boating on Lake George, and barbecuing with his close circle of upstate family and friends. Tony is survived by immediate and extended family in New York City and Maunabo, Puerto Rico. He will also be greatly missed by his adopted families The Morris family of Glens Falls, and The Geisel Family of Clifton Park.
