Harry B. Kramer, aged, 87, died December 17, 2024 in Long Branch, New Jersey with his loving wife and daughter at his side.

Harry was born April 15, 1937 and lived in Cincinnati for a greater part of his life. He and his parents lived in North College Hill, where Harry attended St. Margaret Mary Grade School, Roger Bacon High School, and the University of Cincinnati School of Pharmacy, where he received his first degree. 

He later attended the University of Kentucky School of Dentistry, where he received his DMD. His interests were many and varied; his pursuit of knowledge spanned both science and the humanities. Harry attended art classes at the University of Cincinnati and more recently at Baker Hunt where he and his wife Violet Jean were regular art students. 

He enjoyed painting, working in his newly constructed greenhouse, and singing with the choir at Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Madison, Indiana. He was a devoted Catholic who firmly believed in the sanctity of life. Harry was a generous, kind, and intelligent man who will be sadly missed by his friends and family. Words cannot express the sorrow at his passing. 

Harry was preceded in death by his parents Harry B. Kramer and Sylvia Kramer (nee Dietrich) and is survived by his loving wife Violet Jean Kramer (nee McCormac) and his loving daughter, Violet Elizabeth Kramer. Please join us in celebrating his life here and his entry into eternal life
