Dear Family of Kent Cramer, I attended grade school and high school with Kent. He was sweet, funny and a very kind soul. Kent had the most beautiful smile. I am so sorry for your loss.

I liked working with Kent at CUNA. I got promoted out of the union ranks to management as I moved from managing editor to editor. Kent warned me the pay won't be much more and I'd have a lot more headaches. I didn't heed his advice, thinking a promotion is a promotion. But there were a lot more headaches and the pay wasn't much more. I see Kent has a big family. My condolences. Gene Johnson

Kent was our friend and was a good guy never mean or angry. A very gentle guy. We always enjoyed seeing him at Snicks. Gretchen Parket and Steve Matula

Kent and I were in the same homeroom for all four of our years in high school. He was such a gentleman with a great smile. I then worked with him at CUNA....again always a gentleman with a great smile. My sincere thoughts for his family as they work through the grief of losing a loved one.
