Kraemer, age 98; Kathryn Kraemer Troutman, sister; Richard E. Kraemer of Ft. Collins, CO, brother; Bonny Kraemer Lally, sister; and his dog and constant companion, Buddy. When Rob needed it, Kathy donated a kidney to him in 2004, after which he lived life to the fullest for another 14 years.  Rob is best known for his West Virginia adventures with his friends, creative sheet-metal designs (one is at the Trolley Stop in Elliott City), and cook-outs in his yard with his plants and ponds.
