Ramón González Ulloa originario de Jalostotitlan, Jalisco Mexico. Nació el 31 de Diciembre de 1932. Hijo de una familia humilde, unida y dedicada al campo. El menor de seis hermanos muy joven inmigro a los Estados Unidos participando como uno de tantos en el programa 'Braceros' en el cual le permitía regresar y volver a Mexico cada año. Un día decidió formar una familia con su actual viuda María Dolores González de la cual surgió el fruto de trece hijos a los que actualmente les sobreviven once. Con esfuerzo y dedicación saco a su familia adelante, logrando un estatus migratorio para todos en el año 1988. Su sueño se había hecho realidad, la vida pasa y ahora el tambien. Siempre se le recordara con amor, como un buen esposo, padre, pero sobretodo como un buen amigo. Como decía el en vida "Este Arroz ya se coció".
