[Oe List ...] Don Cramer

[Sharry Lachman]

Wesley and I were close friends with Don and Claudia since moving to Seattle from Calcutta in 1986. At Claudia’s urging, Don and I became business partners and worked together for about 10 years, doing strategic planning with corporations and government agencies in the Seattle area. He had an office in the back room of our apartment and I had one in the dining room. We and all the neighbors usually knew when he was coming from their third-floor apartment down to ours on the first floor, as he usually whistled all the way. He was delightful to work with, upbeat, creative, and dedicated to the work, even when the going got tough. I will remember Don’s joyful sense of humor, his infectious laugh, his ease and openness with all kinds of people and situations, and his great love of the outdoors. We miss him already.

Love and condolences to Kristen and Mark and family,
Sharry Lachman
