Ramsay was born in Sault Ste. Marie, and was educated in that city and at Queen's University in Kingston. He became manager of CJIC-TV in 1956, and served as vice-president of Huron Broadcasting. Ramsay was the recipient of a Centennial Medal in 1967, and was named "Man of the Year" by Sault Ste. Marie's Rotary Club in 1969. He was a member of the Sault Ste. Marie city council from January to June 1975. He was married to Margaret with whom he raised five children.
Ramsay supported Larry Grossman's to replace Bill Davis as Progressive Conservative leader in February 1985,[7] and was not appointed to the cabinet of Frank Miller, the successful candidate. He lost to New Democratic Party candidate Karl Morin-Strom by 1,069 votes in the 1985 provincial election.[8] In 1996, Ramsay ran in a mayoral by-election in Sault Ste. Marie, but was defeated by former federal MP Steve Butland.
In January 1987, he was appointed to the Health Discipline Board and the Denture Therapists Appeal Board.[9] Three months later he was moved to the Industrial Accident Prevention Association.[10] He stayed in that position until 1995 when the board was axed by the Mike Harris administration.[11]
Ramsay received the Paul Dalseg Community Achievement Award in 2000.[12] He died in 2003 at a Sault Ste. Marie nursing home, having previously been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.[13] A boardroom at Sault Ste. Marie's City Hall is named in his honour, as is the street leading to City Hall. In 2009, Ramsay was selected for induction into the Sault Ste. Marie Walk of Fame.
