Billy Ramseur
Jones, (1931-2007)
75, died March 2, 2007, at his South Anchorage
 home.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no service. He will be
cremated and his ashes will be scattered at a future date. Billy was born
March 12, 1931, in Toccoa, Ga., to Claud and Velma Louise Jones. He served
with the U.S. Air Force Weather Service from Oct. 31, 1950, to June 1,
1973. He traveled "Tornado Alley" out of Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. He
also served in the "Hurricane Hunters" in Bermuda and in Tonopah, Nev., in
1955 during the "Operation Teapot" atomic bomb tests.
He served in 6th Weather Squadron (Mobile) at Tinker AFB, OK from 1953 to 1955
and retired from the Air Force at Elmendorf AFB, Anchorage,
Alaska on June 3, 1974.
In 1951, Bill met his wife,
Nancy, when he was assigned to Narsarssuak, Greenland. They were married
in St. John's, Newfoundland, on May 30, 1953. They arrived in Anchorage in
1963, bought a lot in South Anchorage and in 1975 built their log house.
After the 1964 earthquake, on his way to report at Elmendorf Air Force
Base, Billy came to a large crack in the Old Seward Highway. He had some
boards in his truck and laid a couple over the crack so he could get
across. Others followed his lead, and before long there was a bridge
across the gap. Billy also was a commercial fisherman in Bristol Bay for
18 years, using his military leave time each July. His boat, Kingfish,
served him well. His sons, Jimmy and Claud, fished the Kingfish with him.
Billy owned a 1941 J-3 Piper Cub that he bought from a man in Virginia.
Nancy and Bill made a trip there, loaded the plane onto a trailer and
brought it to Anchorage. Lightning, as he named it, made a beautiful
picture on the front page of the Anchorage Daily News not too long ago. He
enjoyed all of the outdoor sports Alaska has to offer - hunting, fishing
and, most recently, when walking became difficult for him, using his
four-wheeler while clam digging. He grew up in a valley in the north
Georgia mountains and always thought it was the most beautiful place in
the world until he saw Alaska. This state stole his heart. His work in the
Air Force gave him the opportunity to travel the state, making many
friends during his trips. He was preceded in death by his infant daughter,
Bonnie Jean, and older brother, James Louis Jones. Billy is survived by
his wife of 53 years, Nancy; son, Jimmy and his wife, Bonnie; son, Claud
and his girlfriend, Kristy; and granddaughters, Jennifer, Sara, Jessica,
Abbie and Haley.
