Ronald J. Kramer

Ronald J. Kramer, age 90, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, January 26, 2025, supported by his loving wife Carol, and his stepchildren, nieces, and family. Ron was born on September 22, 1934, to Roland and Helen (Kassner) Kramer in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Ron graduated from Central Catholic High School, class of 1952 and from St. Norbert College in June 1958.  Ron then served in the U.S. Army for two years.  Ron was employed as an accountant for many years.  He worked at the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay for 10.5 years, retiring from the Stewardship Department in 1998.

While working at the Catholic Diocese, Ron met his wife, Carol.  After a beautiful courtship and many long walks (holding hands of course) the couple were married June 7, 2002, at Holy Cross Parish.  In Ron’s marriage to Carol, he found the greatest fulfillment in his life.

Ron sang in the Green Bay Chapter of the Barber Shop Chorus for over 33 years and found great fulfillment, especially singing with the Music Men Octet.  He enjoyed the friendships made which lasted over the years.  As a couple, Carol and Ron brought holy communion to the homebound for many years and found this greatly rewarding.  He enjoyed being a winter Texan for many years.  Ron got his nature fix spending time with his wife Carol at their cabin in Lakewood.  He always said there has to be evergreen trees in Heaven.
