Ferdinand Kramer

My father, Charles J. Greenebaum, was a first cousin of Ferd's. My grandmother, Amy Kramer Greenebaum, was a sister of Ferd's father, Uncle Adie. I have lovely memories of visiting Ferd and his family in Highland Park when I was a child living in Chicago. Mort and I send our love and condolences to you all.

Ferd's father and my grandmother were brother and sister. We didn't see Ferd often but meetings were always pleasant. Both Lilli and I are very appreciative of Julia's genealogical work on the Kramer family. We're sorry for the loss and sympathize with you all.

My Grandfather, Charles Greenebaum, was a first cousin to Ferd Kramer. Mr Kramer's father was brother to my Great Grandmother, Amy Kramer Greenebaum.

We share your sorrow.

I have fond remembrances of Ferd Kramer as an astute real estate professional and a living Chicago legend. I was the "office boy" for Draper & Kramer in the Loop headquarters 1952-1953. A dynamic firm with Ferd as a great leader.

Mr. Kramer gave me an opportuity to work with D&K on the conversion of 1700 E. 56th Street. Thus began a strong relationship which continues to this day. While our contacts were brief, and occurred toward the end of his career, it was easy to see the strength and integrity which brought him so much success. I will always consider it an honor to have known him.

A long life, well spent, is in itself a comfort to Mr. Kramer's family and close friends. Nonetheless, it is obviously...

You gave 40 years of your energy to give us a wonderful gift. Thanks so much for the South Loop
