Richard Cramer Obituary
Devoted husband to the late Ellen Cramer, loving father of Sean, Charissa, Liz, Bill, Nick, and cherished grandfather to Maddy, Waylon, Kaitlyn and Immy.
Dick, Dad and "Bapa" was a lovingly reliable force to all he held close. His quiet strength and sense of humor carried him through life and elevated the lives of those around him. He was born in Upper Darby, PA, and lived most of his life in the Bay Area, graduating from Burlingame High School. A combat veteran of Vietnam, he served his country with distinction and honor. After attending law school at UC Hastings, he worked as in-house counsel to several organizations for 36 years. His true enjoyment and amusement came from spending time with his family.
Private services will be held.

I have so many wonderful pictures of Richard Cramer's family and I post some of them herewith. Dick loved his family and doted on them. His family was everything to him.

Unfortunately, I started to write my memories and great feelings of sadness upon hearing of Richard's (Dick) death. But I was unable to save what I had written. I will write more tomorrow. But here I want to tell Dick's kids, Sean, Charissa, Liz, Billy and Nick, how very much loved their father was by me and their Uncle Doug (Dick's only and elder brother). The same goes for their late mother, Ellen, a generous, funny and great lady. I will write more.
