David Gramins Obituary

Visit the Becker Ritter Funeral Home & Cremation Services - Brookfield website to view the full obituary.
David R. Gramins, son of Richard and Elsie Gramins, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family and friends on July 1st, 2025 after a long battle with Renal and Chronic Lymphatic Cancer.
He was active in everything he did, and that says a lot. Early on, he sometimes held down four jobs to support his new family. Primarily, he worked for the Untied States Post Office and retired as a Postmaster. His second occupation was the United States Army Reserve, where he was a drill instructor and he retired after reaching his goal of earning the rank of Command Sargeant Major. Even after retiring he kept working, he was a bus driver who was loved by his riders and then he worked at Silver Spring and New Berlin Hills golf courses (primarily to get cheap golf!).
Despite having a full ticket, he was always there for his family. Whether it was going to band or swimming functions, or being the ultimate do-it-yourselfer and keeping the home and vehicles running, he made time for everything.
He always made friends easily and will be truly missed by all of them, including almost every one of his neighbors in Westchester, where he lived for 51 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Nora Lee, his children Jeff (Beth) Gramins and Meg (Tom) Stahl.
Please join us for a celebration of his truly remarkable life on Saturday July 19, 2025 at the Becker-Ritter Funeral Home with visitation from 11 AM until the time of David's Funeral Service at 1 PM. In lieu of flowers, we respectfully request a donation to the to support members of the military and first responders. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of David, please visit our floral store.
