Obituary- Kramer, Larry 2

Kramer’s highlights and accomplishments as a football player and coach stand alone. He was one of a kind, but what made him truly special is the quality and character he had outside of the game. The love and caring attitude he brought to those he loved. He was tough at times but genuine and no nonsense. He was a wonderful father to his four children and a playful, gentle man with his nine grandchildren. It was not unusual at family gatherings to find PopPop/Grandpa out in the yard participating (not coaching) in a game of football with his little crew of players who all looked up to him. Kramer loved attending his grandkid’s games, programs and school activities. Even in the end he had a winning team. A team who adored him, loved him and will cherish the memories forever!

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Sandra Kramer, a son, Tim (Kendra) Kramer, Lakeland, Florida, three daughters, Kelly Potter (John Humphrey), Topeka, Kansas, Erin Melton, Ft. Morgan, Colorado and Kerry (Jeff) Glasgow, Lawrence, Kansas and 9 grandchildren. Also surviving are his mother, June Kramer, Austin, Minnesota, brother Jim Kramer, St. Paul, Minnesota and brother in laws Robert Van Norman of Rapid City, SD and Jim Van Norman of Redlands, CA. Kramer is preceded in death by his father, Ronald Kramer.
