José 'Pepé Ramos
Nace durante la primera mitad del siglo XlX en Mayaguez aunque vivió la mayor parte de su vida en el pueblo de Aguada. Se casó con Justina Torres Cordero quién aprende a tallar de su esposo siguiendo su caracteristico estilo y era conocida por sus vecinos como Doña Tina. Sus tallas se han encontrado principalmente en los pueblos de Aguada y Moca.
El Dr. Teodoro Vidal pudo documentar que ambos realizaban imágenes escultóricas de San Blás "con cuellito colorao y trajecito blanco que pendían de un cordón o de una cinta que los compradores aplicaban en la garganta en los afectados en casos de ahogo".
Nitza Mediavilal, en su libro "Santos al desnudo" describe los rostros de las tallas de Pepe Ramos y de su esposa, Justina como "de forma triangular y con barbilla puntiaguda".
Jose Ramos falleció en 1904 en el pueblo de Aguada. Su esposa Justina falleció en 1954 a la edad de 86 años.
