RON KRAMER It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ronald Kramer. Ron was predeceased by his dear wife Helen and is survived by his loving partner and best friend, Selma Edelstone; his children, Dan and Ellen Kramer, Sarah (Sally) Kramer and Ray Doucette, Marjorie Kramer and Alan Goffenberg, Judith Kramer; as well as his grandchildren, Jason Kramer and Kendall Todd, Madison Kramer, Kate Karen, Charlotte and Henry Doucette, Kay Goffenberg; and his sister Diane Winokur. Ron treasured his loving relationship/friendship with Barbara and Richard Conway, Harriet and Jon Goodman, Lisa, Deborah, Steven, Matthew, Jacqui, Sam and Jacquie, Emma and Kelsey. Ron moved to Toronto from Boston in 1963 and was proudly an American and Canadian citizen. He valued his voting rights. Ron was a brilliant and curious man who relished watching his favourite baseball and basketball teams, completing any crossword puzzle and following the political drama everywhere. Ron had a broad range of interests and engaged in the most common and obscure topics. Ron received his AB from Brown University and his MBA from Cornell University. He will be sorely missed.
