Mr. Kramer suffered an apparent heart attack at his home. Know as “Kelly” to a multitude of friends and acquaintance, he espoused a simple philosophy in education, “Every student must be handled as an individual. You can’t teach all in the same way, for people don’t all learn the same way.” Mr. Kramer often said his biggest thrill in teaching agriculture was that “you never know what kind of job you’ve done until you see the finished product doing a good job in professional farming.” He believed that in teaching agriculture, the teacher actually was teaching for the next generation, for change is very slow in agriculture. Mr. Kramer was proud of the fact the 178 of his former students were actively engaged in farming when he retired from teaching in 1983. In addition to his student program at Kiel High School, Mr. Kramer inaugurated an adult farmer night school program in January 1948. Classes were designed to help farmers solve specific problems and to adopt or to improve existing practices on their farms. He continued teaching the program until his retirement. Mr. Kramer was born Aug. 25, 1923, at Kewaskum, son the late Edwin and Hortense Goche Krautkramer. He was a 1941 graduate of Kewaskum High School. In 1948, he received a bachelor of science degree in agricultural education from the UW-Platteville. He received a master’s degree from the UW-Madison. On July 19, 1947, he married Colleen Ann Crogan at West Bend. He taught at Kiel High School for 35 1/2 years retiring in 1983. He was a veteran of the US Marine Corps during World War II, serving in the South Pacific. Mr. Kramer was a member of the Presbyterian Church, Kiel; Kiel Kiwanis Club; Kiel Masonic Lodge 336 F & AM; Kiel Veterans of Foreign Wars; Kiel Historical Society; Kiel Future Farmers of America Alumni; Wisconsin Association of Vocational Ag Instructors; scoutmaster of a Kiel Boy Scout unit; and a member of the Kiel Park and Planning Commission.
