William Kramer Obituary

William Basil Kramer, age 68, of Canon City, CO passed away September 6, 2009 in Canon City. He was born August 26, 1941 in Colorado Springs, CO to Hazen and Sara (Tipton) Kramer. William was the beloved husband of 44 years to his wife, Jackie, and loving father to their three daughters and nine grandchildren. One of nine children, Bill was a fourth generation Coloradoan whose great great grandparents were a part of Leadville's silver strike years, as well as the Cripple Creek gold rush of the 1890's. Bill was a proud owner of Integrity Printing and Pikes Peak Press Repair along with his friends and partners Jim Banda and Steve Meerpohl. He lived his life with honor, integrity, devotion and deep love. We will sorely miss him...until we meet with him in Heaven. Memorial Services will be held at 2:00 PM, Friday, September 11, 2009 at Christ Episcopal Church in Canon City with Reverend Mark Meyer officiating. Arrangements handled through Holt Family Funeral Home.

My deepest sympathies for all the Kramer families. Bill was special to each family member, especially his younger brother, Tim. Bill had a constant wit and terrific sense of humor. Every moment spent with him brought laughter and amazement. I am so sorry to hear of his passing for those who have survived him. But faith in God leaves me to believe that he is now painfree and resting in His loving arms. I'll never forget you, Bill. My condolences to his immediate family. May you be comforted in your time of sorrow and be blessed with the love you shared. Those whom we leave behind will never forget you.
