He worked his way through high school and college as a clerk at Hennings Grocery Store in Decorah.
Peter Ramlo graduated from Luther College and received a master's degree from the State University of Iowa.

Peter Ramlo moved to Bloomfield, New Jersey, where he had resided for the past 38 years.
He worked as a comptroller for Litton Industries, which was later owned by Adler Co., and then Volkswagon, where he retired.
While in partial retirement, Peter Ramlo worked for the Chron's and Colitis Foundation.
He served in the U.S. Army, primarily in France, which triggered a lifetime interest in travel abroad.
