Carlos achieved so much during his remarkable life touching so many as a husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, teacher, USO volunteer, VFW, American Legion, Air Force Master Sergeant, Military technical advisor, and musician.
Carlos was born in New York City, NY and left Stuyvesant High School to serve in the United States Army at the age of 16.

Following the military, Carlos returned to school earning his Bachelor of Arts with Distinction from San Jose State University and his Masters of Arts from the University of San Francisco. Carlos served the community for an additional 13 years as a teacher of the Eastside Union School District. He continued giving his time after his retirement by volunteering at the USO at the San Jose airport and at NASA where he enjoyed giving tours to students. He was active in the Air Force Sergeants Association, the VFW and the American Legion, Mission City Post 564, where he rose to Post Commander and was inducted (wrecked) into the elite chapter of the 40/8 (forty and eighth).

Carlos leaves behind many nieces, nephews and cousins in California, England and New York. Carlos was preceded in death by his parents Jesus and Altagracia, siblings Betsy and Joseph and his beloved son, Carl S. Ramos. His body may gone, his determined spirit lives on in all of us.
