The family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Dunbar Funeral Home, Devine Street Chapel. Ramon Aycock died Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, after a brief illness. He is survived by his son, Dr. Ray Aycock of Pensacola, Fla.; daughter, Gayle Aycock of Columbia; cherished granddaughters, Ariel Starr Aycock of Richmond, Va., and Alexandra Dawn Aycock of Pensacola; many nieces and nephews; loving friends and extended family; and beloved cat, Gracie. Ramon was born Sept. 11, 1918, and raised in Pinewood. He was the last surviving member of his high school class. He graduated from Wofford College and served in the Navy during World War II. He was an honor flight participant in 2009, where he was observed jitterbugging at the airport in Washington, D.C. Ramon retired from the Department of Education, where he was the state supervisor of School Food Services. In his retirement, he worked at Red Wing Shoes in a part-time job he loved. There he loved meeting people and bringing home what he called the “mad money.” Always remembering his love for his work with School Food Services, he was president of the Pioneer Group and was instrumental in maintaining the annual meetings. Ramon was a wonderful, loving husband, father and grandfather. He cared for his wife of 66 years during a long illness before her death in 2009. He was a great friend to many and loved socializing and checking in on friends and family. He was quick witted and loved telling stories about the “old days” and his family. He was loved by many for his strength, tenacity, and keen sense of humor. There are many “Ramon stories” that his family and friends will cherish in his memory. In recent years, he gained much support, comfort and love from his church family at Trenholm Road United Methodist Church; his exercise class at Eastminster Presbyterian Church; and the Kiwanis Club. Very important to him during this time was his caregiver, Debbie Cornelius. They were great friends and conspirators. The family wishes to express a most sincere thank you to Debbie and her daughter, Tamiko, who assisted with his care during his recent hospitalization. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Trenholm Road United Methodist Church, 3401 Trenholm Road, Columbia, SC 29204. Please sign the online guestbook at www.dunbarfunerals.com.
