Sherry, Logan and Parker,
It was with great shock and sadness when I opened the sports page of today's paper to learn that Bob had died. I just returned from Ghana a week and a half ago and was not aware of his death. I want you all to know how much I thought of Bob and counted him as a dear friend. The last time I saw him was at the gas pumps at Giant in Exerter. We chatted for a long time. He told me how great Logan and Parker were doing and how he was still involved with FCA. If there is anything I can do for you guys don't hesitate to ask. I do know that as a person of great faith, Bob is in his glory. I love you guys!!

Our sympathy to the Kramer family. From our first meeting when living a few houses away, to church, to our children's friendship and all the many sporting events we were both involved in, Bob had a gift of personality that mixed inspiration with compassion. He will be greatly missed.

To the Kramer Family:
We were shocked and sadden when we learned about Bob's passing last week. To my daughter Amy he was not only her great golf coach for the last 15 years but a dear friend to her. Bob recently worked with her new husband and quickly help him. For me personally, who have worked with Bob for as many years, I have lost not just a golf teacher but a good friend that I have learned much from over the years.
Sherry, prior commitments do not allow us to attend his celebration of life but please know that we all have Bob in your prayers. Don & Geri Loughney Joe & Amy Loughney Hajjar.

I was so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I met him in 2005 after I joined White Manor Country Club. I thought he was an compelling teacher of the game of golf. I never played better than I did after he gave me a number of lessons. I was sad when he left White Manor and because he was such a forceful personality at the Club. I grieve his loss and will forever regret that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye and thank you.

My deepest sympathies to the Kramer family. I took many golf lessons from Bob and found him to be a wonderful gentleman and incredibly knowledgeable about his craft. He will be truly missed.

To the Kramer Family:
Sadden by the news of Bob's passing. I knew him from Bent Creek and attended his summer fund raiser with the small band. I enjoyed my conversations with him and his "big catches" on facebook. He is remembered.

To Bob's family, after returning from vacation last evening I learned of his passing. I am so very sorry to hear this. Bob and I had a running verbal contest with his football team the Eagles and mine the Cowboys every year and we both had some good laughs. He was truly one of the good guys you hear about and will be missed. Prayers lifted up for the family. Gods Love to all of you.
