Charles C. ‘Buck’ Kramer

Charles C. “Buck” Kramer, 89, of Beagle Road, Mill Hall, passed away Monday, April 16, 2018 at Haven Skilled Rehabilitation and Nursing, Lock Haven.

He was born in Salona on Aug. 26, 1928, the son of the late John H. and Nora Mae Gates Kramer.

On March 20, 1948, he married the former Betty L. Shade, who preceded him in death on Feb. 11, 2009.

Buck was employed at Piper Aircraft for 33 years, until his retirement in 1984.

In 1986, Buck received his GED – a proud accomplishment he quietly achieved on his own.

He was a member of the Rote Church of Christ.

Buck’s passion was bluegrass music. He loved attending music festivals and playing his instruments with his family and friends. He also enjoyed the outdoors – hunting in his earlier years and watching the birds at his feeder in more recent years.

Buck is survived by two daughters, Sandra S. (Beany) Fenush of Hawke Run and Debra K. Beam of Rote; a son, Charles L. “Lee” (Penny) Kramer of Lamar; a brother, Lloyd Kramer of Mackeyville; 12 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
