Kramer, Ralph (25 Mar. 1915 - 7 Dec. 2008)

OWEN -- Ralph Kramer passed away at the age of 93 at the Clark County Health Care Center on Dec. 7, 2008.

He was born March 25, 1915, in Chicago. He married Josephine Kolesar on June 26, 1937. They lovingly raised four children, moving them to a farm near Lublin in 1948.

Part of a verse Josephine wrote about Ralph in the 1940s says it all: "His kindness and his goodness are in his every thought and deed. He's always where he's needed and he always fills the need."

Ralph was preceded in death by Josephine in 2000. He will be missed by his children, grandchildren and many dear friends.

A private family memorial gathering will honor his life.

The Cremation Society of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, is serving the family.
