Gregg Alan "Doc" Cramer

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I had Cramer for one semester of Lit in my senior year. A short time, but he left an impression. Sadly, I never had the opportunity to speak with him again after graduation, but there have been many times I´ve thought about him and his class since 1986. I´ll always hang onto my copy of Lord of the Flies which he signed over to me "Sold to Ike, by order of the Queen", after I was a party to inadvertently damaging his class copy and having to pay to replace it. RIP Skip.

Doc is a legend of Middleton. He would depart Old Man Coffee at Barriques by wishing us an average day, but seeing Doc always made it better than average.

Doc and I met on the first day of first grade at Midvale School. Not only were we in the same classroom, but our desks were right next to each other. That was quite a year!

Rest in...

Doc used to tie my shoes for me in Kindergarten. We played a lot of baseball together in grade school. Even though I was not very good he was always very encouraging and never demeaning. I also went to West High with him and he always treated everyone with respect and had a joke for them. I reconnected with him in the last few years at Barriques and then at Brian´s for coffee. He was a great guy and I will miss him. My condolences. Bob Stolen
