Antonio (Roberto) Ramos
June 13, 1926 - July 9, 2006

Antonio was born in Mexico and arrived in Oakland as a young man in 1948. He was a professional baker by trade and met his future wife when he went to work at La Borinquena. After they were married they became owners of the family business and he continued to work there until his recent retirement due to illness. He was also a great horse race aficionado and gifted storyteller. He is survived by his devoted wife of 58 years, Natividad Ramos, loving family and special friends.
