It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of William "Papa" Kramer on December 5, 1953. Born on October 11, 1953, he lived a short but impactful life. Despite being affectionately known as Papa, he preferred being addressed as William. He will be dearly missed by his surviving husband, Loria Horst Kramer. His short time on earth was marked by his unconditional love, laughter, and warmth that spread to everyone he met. We mourn his loss deeply, and his memory will forever remain etched in our hearts and minds.
