Kenneth Kramer

Kenneth's father & my father were cousins, I only met him several times, in my life. Most recently, we shared family memories with him online. His parents, lived, at one time, in the Quakertown, PA area, where I live. I visited with them, at various times. Always very enjoyable. Rose was such a sweet person.

I´m sorry to hear about Ken´s passing. This explains why my recent email to him went unanswered. I conversed with him last in 2018. I wrote him a few weeks ago to discuss my father`s passing, and how his teachings in my class with him (Death, Dying, and Religion, `93 or `94) helped me. I still have his two books from the class, World Scriptures, and Death Dreams.

It is with great sadness to learn of Ken Kramer's passing. Ken and I became friends when we were congregants at Alpha Baptist Church in Philadelphia during the 1960s. We were close at the time but communicated less frequently after Ken moved to California in 1974. I want to share the following excerpt from a letter I sent Ken in 2016 that expresses how important he was in my life. I sent it to Ken after reading A Life of Dialogue/Love Letters to My Daughters.

Such memories it brought...

He may never know the impact he had on my life. He was truly a GIFT to so many! Such a model of a LOVING HUMAN!

Dear Aaron, Leila, and Yvonne,

I am so sorry for your loss. I was very saddened to hear about Ken's passing. I am deeply grateful every day for having Ken as a friend since we were students together at Temple University in the late 1960s.

I still remember sitting across from him in a literature and existentialism class with Professor Maurice Friedman. Friedman was both of our major advisors for our dissertations. It became clear to me that he was the most gifted student in...

To the family of one of my favorite customers .

Ken was the warmest, friendliest and a truly a man of deep
passion and love of his family. He never complained a word of his illness or let that smile ever leave his face or his voice when he became to ill to see us.

I hold you dear in my heart Ken and May you Rest In Peace .

With gratitude and upmost respect,

Tina Nulph Gonzalez
