George H. Kramer

On February 10, 2021 our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, friend and mentor answered God's call home. He peacefully passed surrounded by his loving family. George was born in Dayton OH on August 13, 1940 to the late Lawrence and Edith (McCoy) Kramer. George married K. Elaine Wack on May 30, 1964 at Holy Family Catholic Church in Dayton. George is survived by his devoted wife Elaine of 56 years, brother Joseph, sons Christopher G. (Cindy) of Wrightstown NJ; Michael S. (Kelly) of Fort Mitchell KY; Carl J. of Xenia OH; Mark N. of Pittsburgh PA; Kevin A. of Burbank CA; grandchildren Christopher, Corey, Caitlin, Kieran, Sydney, Nicola, Peyton, Jada, Bekalu, Myles, and Jack; and great granddaughter Jackie. George was preceded in death by his sister Patricia, and infant daughter Mary.

George graduated from the University of Dayton in Electrical Engineering in 1962, with a Masters in 1971, and remained a passionately devoted Flyers fan his entire life. During a long career, George earned several patents in his work as an Air Force contractor. After retiring in 2008, he enjoyed extensive traveling, hiking with his sons, UD basketball games, gardening, and woodcarving. His greatest joy in the final chapters of his life were his grandchildren. George was known by all as a gentle, giving man, who always sought to serve others first. He will be deeply missed for his laugh, dry sense of humor, inventiveness and curiosity – even his snoring. A generous man to the end, George was a tissue donor and urged others to donate as well.

A celebration of his life will be live streamed Sunday, February 14 from 1-2pm EST https://www.facebook.com/TobiasBeavercreekChapel/ A private burial will be held earlier in the weekend at the Saint Kateri Preserve at Calvary Cemetery, Dayton OH. In lieu of flowers, please send memorial contributions to the Bernhard Schmidt Electrical Engineering Scholarship: University of Dayton, 300 College Park, Dayton OH 45469.
