On Monday, November 14, 2016, Gerald 'Jerry' Cramer, 70, was called to his heavenly home at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He graduated from Bishop Duffy High School and Niagara County Community College. He served 4 years in the U.S. Air Force as a Munitions Crew Chief from 1966-1970. He was honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant. Stationed for 1 and a half years in Thailand, he was involved in operations against enemy forces in Vietnam. He was awarded The Republic of Viet Nam Campaign Medal, The Vietnam Service Medal, with a Bronze Star, The National Defense Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. He also earned the Overseas Service Ribbon, the Outstanding Unit Ribbon, The Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon, The Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, and the Air Force Missile Badge.

He was best-known for his generosity; always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, without expecting anything in return. His meticulous work-habits, always stressing for accuracy and details and striving to find more efficient and cost-effective ways of doing things gave him instant recognition amongst his fellow workers and employers. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Jason; a daughter, Tiffany; two grandchildren, Joshua Cramer and Savannah Cramer.
