Kramer, Wim

-

Wim Kramer, age 77, beloved husband, father and brother passed away on Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at his home in Albuquerqu­e, NM.

Born in Rustenburg, South Africa on October 28, 1938 to Tjipke (Chip) and Maria Wilhelmina Anna (Mies) Kramer, Wim spent his childhood and early part of his career in southern Africa. Wim was an Exploratio­n Geologist and as such loved the outdoors, whether that was searching for diamonds, hiking trails or enjoying a braai (a.k.a barbecue). His career spanned forty years, twenty spent in 7 countries in southern Africa and twenty in the United States. Wim was an active member of the Rotary Club of Albuquerqu­e Sandia, and never one to back away from a commitment. Wim could always be counted on to have a good bottle of wine handy (South African of course), and an interestin­g story to share.

He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chip and Mies, and his brother, Jan.

He is survived by his wife, Margaret; sons, Kerrin and Quentin; brother, Henk (Molly); sister, Annie (Rob); sisterin-law Lenie, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributi­ons be made to Saranam www.saranamabq.org or the Rotary Club of Albuquerqu­e Sandia P.O. Box 21456 Albuquerqu­e NM 87145.
