Robert Randolph Cramer (12-12-1934/ 8-1-2025)

Dad, Bob, Bobby C, "Pa" to his grandchildren left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone he touched. This charismatic poet, musician, golfer, and dancer lived life to the fullest, spreading joy and laughter wherever he went. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled with warmth, and his contagious smile could light up a room.

As a father, Bob instilled in his children a sense of wonder and appreciation for life's simple pleasures. He taught them to gaze up at the stars, savor sunsets, and live life unapologetically. His love for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren knew no bounds, and they adored him in return.

Bob's storytelling ability was legendary, and his presence was always the catalyst for unforgettable gatherings. As the life of the party, he brought people together with his infectious energy and zest for life.

Preceded in death by his mother, Elinor Gramm and son, David Cramer. Bob leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter. He is survived by his wife, Sue Cramer, his sister Pam Pigott and her husband Harvey, brother Jeff Gramm, daughter's Deborah Joseph and husband Wayne, Michelle Butts and husband Wayne, Tawnya Dodd, and Tamara Casillas and husband Tony, a step-daughter Brenda Nelson and her husband, Mark, 15 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and two step-grandsons. His family will deeply miss his twinkling eyes, bright smile, and larger-than-life personality, but they take comfort in the countless memories they shared with him.

Rest in peace, Dad, Bob, Bobby C., Pa, Your love, laughter, and legacy will live on in our hearts forever.
