James Keith “Jim” Kramer, 80, of Fennimore, Wis., passed away on Sept. 13, 2023, at the Divine Rehabilitation and Nursing in Fennimore. Jim was born Nov. 20, 1942, in Elkader, the son of Alfred and Charlotte (Dohrer) Kramer. He grew up on his parent’s farm and attended Elkader Central High School, graduating in 1960. Following graduation, Jim enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he served for five years, two in California and three in Okinawa.

He also enjoyed playing pool, bowling, fishing, playing cards and watching Westerns.
