Obituary for Billie Bob Cramer

Heaven welcomed another angel on December 22, 2013, when Bill Cramer was called home to be with his Lord.

Bill was the son of Lester and June (Nelson) Cramer on September 27, 1951 in Ponca City, Oklahoma. He attended McKinley Elementary, East Junior High, and Ponca City High School, graduating in 1970. He was an All-State Center with the Po-Hi Wildcats his junior and senior years.

In his earlier years, he spent much of his free time fishing and hunting. He later traded those activities for his true love of golf, spending many enjoyable hours on the course.

Bill’s employment career was in tires. He managed the Ponca City Firestone store until it’s closing, and then went to work for Goodyear until his retirement in 2005.

Bill was a member of Second Baptist Church, and that is where he married Sherri (Whipkey) Cramer on June 1, 1972. To their very blessed union came three very amazing children: Curt Cramer and wife, Melissa of Ashland, Kansas; Casey (Cramer) Walker and husband Cory of Beaver, Oklahoma; Cory Cramer and fiance Tessa Bristow of Ponca City, Oklahoma. He was also blessed with eight grandchildren: Montana, Austin, McKenzie, Dalton, Dayton, Lane, Brady, and Blake; and one great-grandchild, Molly. He had one sister, Cheryl (Cramer) Klinger and husband, Robert of Ponca City, Oklahoma; and two nephews, Robert and Dennis Cramer of Ponca City, Oklahoma.

He is preceded in death by his parents and half brother, Glen Cramer.
