James West Ramsey, 92, a resident of Sandpoint since 1996, passed away Jan. 30, 2025.

He was an Air Force F-86 jet pilot, a news reporter and editor, magazine owner and publisher — and a public relations manager.

He fulfilled a dream of owning a boat and even after he retired, he wrote articles for Avionics magazine and authored three books. Also, he was a community volunteer, including working with second graders at Farmin-Stidwell Elementary School.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Pat — and four sons, Gregg, Stephen, Matthew and Douglas.
