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

I keep sing "when the role is called up yonder. . ."

Don served well.  He shared both his passion for life, his love of the outdoors and his desire to change the world with many of us. 

My sympathy reaches out to those whom he held closest to his heart.  As you grief and celebrate the gift he was to you.  

Thanks be for his service and care.

Paula

Subject: [Oe List ...] Don Cramer

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Just learnt that Don passed away on Friday. Kristen Cramer had mentioned it on her Facebook which someone forwarded to me. Another veteran of our community has left - I remember working with him in India, teaching in the ITIs and in the Philippines. I will remember his passion and enthusiasm. 

 

Dharma
