Don will certainly be missed. We had the great fortune of working with him for several years and cherish those memories. We have kept in touch since leaving Motorola and enjoyed periodic phone calls with him. He was a good friend. Our prayers are for comfort and peace for his family.

Don was a chrished mentor and friend. He played a role in bringing me into Motorola a second time, showed me the proper role of Employee Relations during difficult times, showing a courage that is often lacking in Corporate executives. He stood for the truth, even when it was difficult for him, and I never had a question where he stood on matters of business or of conscience. I will miss him, just as much as cherish the value that he was to me. Godspeed!

Don will be remembered fondly with love by both of us. When he married my mother, he embraced my brother and I as his own, and we gained not only a father figure but also a sister in Tracy. We hold the Langlois family close in thought and prayer. Our deepest sympathy,

We remember Don fondly as our Parker High School classmate. He often came to the reunions and it was always great to reminisce about good times. Blessings to your family.

From a longtime, Parker High School buddy. Have kept in touch with Don thru the years and always enjoyed his friendship. Had lunch with him in Phoenix a few years ago. Great guy, good friend, smart and down to earth with a good sense of humor. He'll be remembered and missed. Eddie O'Farrell

I had the luck of participating in the hiring of Don for the Motorola Employment Office in the late 50's. Both of us later teamed together in the Phoenix area, Don ran the H.R dept for Semi-conductor Group and I ran H.R.for the Government Group. Many fun meetings, travel trips, and lunches come to mind. We wondered his prognosis at lunch yesterday; then the E-mail notice! I will remember him and all of his extended family in my prayers.

Tracy, So sorry to get your message about Don. I worked with Don for many years after I joined Motorola in 1962. He was my boss for most of those years. I couldn't have asked for a better leader and teacher.

Don Cramer will always be remembered as great friend and fellow Motorolan; someone who always cared about the folks who worked with him and for him. On the Wednesday that Tracy's email message was received,it was fitting that a group of his "Piper's Pack" buddies had already gotten together for lunch, an event that Don had rarely missed when he was in Phoenix. He will be sorely missed and always remembered.
