Hazen Kramer Obituary

Kramer Jr.
Hazen "Tom" Kramer Jr.
August 5, 1934
September 8, 2022

Tom was a kind, honorable, well-educated and well-informed man who put family before all else. He lived his life caring for others starting at the age of 10 when he started a paper route to help with his own expenses as well as those of his family.
He loved being productive and always found a project to work on, hiking, reading, music, hallmark movies and westerns, and art.
Tom was a true Coloradan working several jobs while growing up to include a ranch in Westcliff, a mine in Climax, CO and driving buses up Pikes Peak. After putting himself through college he received a bachelor's degree in economics and had a long career in civil service with the federal government and ultimately was in charge of all contracting for a large army base in Alaska
He had 2 children who he absolutely adored, was very proud of and would have done anything for. He was the oldest of 9 children and took that job seriously always trying to help those who followed behind him.
Services will be held on Friday May 26, 2023 at 11:30 AM St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 7400 Tudor Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80919

Tom, you were very kind. You represented your family very well. You were always nice to me and I'm blessed to have known you. I know you are now with your mom, Sarah and your dad, Hazen. Bless you.
Your sister-in-law, Dawnie.

So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. As a young Army Officer I worked for Tom for almost 5 years when he was the Director of Contracting at Ft. Richardson, Alaska. He provided me with the opportunity to get experience and I subsequently worked in federal contracting for over 40 years. On September 30, 2019 when I retired, I called Tom and expressed my appreciation - I am really glad I made that call. Tom was hard working, honest, knowledgeable and I considered him a friend.
