RAMSAY VEHSLAGE Obituary

VEHSLAGE--Ramsay

Watson, 77, of Skillman, NJ, died peacefully and suddenly on Friday, April 17, at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. He is survived by his beloved and loving wife, Ann; his much- loved children, Ramsay Watson Vehslage, Jr., of Madison, NJ; his daughter Murray Vehslage Isgrig of Denver, CO, her husband, Trent and their three children, Wyatt, Milly, and Hazel. He was predeceased by his brother, Stephen, in 2002. He was born in New York City on November 4, 1937, and moved at age 10 with his family to Haverford, PA. He graduated from The Haverford School and with the class of 1959 from Princeton University. Prior to his retirement in 2010, Ramsay was president of the Bonney-Vehslage Tool Company of Newark, NJ, a manufacturing business founded by his grandfather in 1906. The company is now located in Springfield, NJ. Ramsay was a nationally-ranked squash player in his teens and 20's, an avid fly-fisherman, talented photographer, determined golfer, enthusiastic gardener, and a man deeply and quietly devoted to his family. His signature style was one of affection, humor, and integrity. Ramsay will be forever missed. A memorial service will be held at 11am on Friday, June 12, at the Princeton University Chapel, Princeton, NJ. In honor of his lifelong interest in squash, donations may be made to The Pingry School for the Pingry Squash Courts, and sent to The Pingry School, Office of Institutional Advancement, 131 Martinsville Road, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920, or made via their website at www.blueprint.pingry.org
