I am so sad to hear this! He was my doctor for many many years. My heart goes out to his family.
Such a loss to all those who knew him.
RIP Dr.Kratzer!

I only worked with Dr. Kratzer my first year in Respiratory Therapy but he was wonderful, kind, and concerned. I am proud to say my husband went to Osteopathic Medical School and carried on a fine medical tradition inspired by Dr. Kratzer.

Dear Judy and family,
Tim and I were very saddened to hear of your precious Kens passing. I know this is a difficult time for all of you and please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. He will be greatly missed.

Ken Kratzer was my mentor and supreme friend. He was so intelligent and resourceful. He made everyone around him feel special. He was my example of what a "Doctor" should be. He was dedicated to a beautiful family and a welcoming community. I have so many fond memories of Ken. I'm so sorry Judy. We all loved him.

My condolences to the family of such a nice man. I only visited him once as a patient, but he was one of my dad's (Eli Coats) favorite people and Dr. Kratzer told me some great stories of their friendship. I'm sure there are many, many people grateful for his medical expertise and his friendship.

I've enjoyed Ken for many years. Was my doctor, my friend, and my birthday person. We shared March 10 a few times. How often can you do that. He was a treasure. My sympathies to you Judy and your family. What a wonderful person he was.

Judy, I am so very sorry for your great loss. Dr. Kratzer blessed a lot of people with his love, humor, wisdom, friendship. He helped me very much in many ways in my career. I was very blessed to have known him. Thank you for sharing him with so many. Hugs and love and prayers.
