WBA Hall of Famer Charles “Chuck” Ramsay died Wednesday at the age of 91.
Ramsay’s 45-year career found him to be the source of news for an entire generation of Green Bay area viewers from 1965 to 2002. A 1957 graduate of Brown Institute of Radio and Television, he served his first eight years in broadcasting in radio in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. He became Sports Director/Anchor at WBAY‑TV in 1965 and in 1971 became its News Anchor, continuing as one of Green Bay’s leading newscasters for the next 31 years.
During his career, he was active in fundraising and supporting the Boy Scouts, Cerebral Palsy research, the March of Dimes, and the Fox Valley Domestic Abuse Center and was an elder at his Green Bay Community Church.
He retired from broadcasting at the end of 2002 and was inducted into the WBA Hall of Fame in 2003.
Visitation will be held Jan. 24 from 10 – 11 a.m. with a memorial service to follow from 12 – 1 p.m. at Springlake Church at 2240 Klondike Road in Green Bay.
In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that gifts be made to the Wisconsin Parkinson Association and Unity Hospice.
