Personal note from Leanne

He left behind so many nieces and nephews with whom he loved to spend time. One of his best memories was the annual “Kramer Olympics” that he and his brothers used as an excuse to have a family reunion.
He was always drawing airplanes on napkins for people. His favorite plane was the P51 Mustang. He also published 2 books: Iowa Farm Boy and We Salute You. He was so proud of his military service and proudly wore his Army Veteran shirt this past Veteran’s Day.
To all who loved him, know that he is with his beloved Millie and my sister Kim.
