Hey pop, it’s me Kenny :( I miss you more than anything it’s been almost 7 months I know you’d be super proud of me right now I got my license and a car in December I really wish you were here rn so we could just throw the football or play some video games or just anything honestly I graduate in a couple of months and it kills me that you won’t be able to see me walk across the stage and be there for one of the biggest moments in my life.... I love you forever <3 

I miss you Dad. Never did I think that this would happen so soon. It’s been 6 months now. An it never gets any easier. Every day I’m reminded that your gone.  An through one of the things I love, and that we shared a common interest in....video games. Every time I sign in, on my friends list I see your screen name Finster.....an it only ever says offline now :*(   I get choked up, every time.  

P.s. Mom put a dent in the Jeep. It wasn’t the kids this time. 

Hey Dad. just wanting to let ya know I'm making my first batch of beer and it really sucks that I cant call you and ask for pointers. At lease I got your books so I'll just have to go threw those.

Hey Pop, I miss you.. A lot, I start my first day of my last year in high school In the next few hours, the other day (Friday) I had my scrimmage for football and I had a Pick 6, two fumble recoveries, and like 6-7 tackles. I know you'd be proud of me so I’m gonna keep working for you. I miss being able to call you and talk about football and video games. I miss coming over as much as possible watching sponge bob, the three stooges, and many other tv shows with you. I love and miss you more than words can explain. Continue watching down on me I promise I’m gonna make you proud. Until next time, Kenny

I first met Kenny when he was 6 years old, I was 8.  My memory of Kenny is his sweet smile and quiet demeanor.   Kenny was my stepbrother, but, unfortunately I never really had the chance to really get to know him.  So nice to hear about the amazing husband, father and grandfather he grew into despite the early years in his life.
My condolences to his family and friends.   Be at peace brother, say hi to Buzzy for me!

Kenny was & will always be my son. He was a great kid & never got into trouble, although sometimes  a parent is the last one to know or find out. I  remember after he left home & worked as an auto mechanic I he toped by to see him t work & he told me if I ever needed anything just let him know. He was a son any mother could sy , that's my boy. I remember when he changed professions & became a police officer I was so worried about him. He loved  Rocky & I remember telling him that a police dog that was shot in the line of duty he was given a funeral just as an officer would get .  He said. " That is  how it should be, those dogs have your back & will take a bullet for you ".  I love you Kenny , I can't believe your gone but I know that one day I will see you when the promised resurrection takes place. I wish I could have seen you one more time to hug you & tell you what a great son you were. I love you son, Mom


Kenny and I rode the motorcycles together on the old 5th platoon and those times are some of the fondest memories I have of APD.  His laugh and wry sense of humor were unforgettable.  Another one of the great ones gone much too early.  He was loved by many and will certainly be missed by all.
Rest In Peace Brother...

To Ceil and the family of Kenny... with a heavy heart, I know that your loss is great, and I feel so sorry and saddened.  I hold each of you in the Light for comfort as you walk through these difficult times, but also the LIght in knowing how Kenny touched my life. 
We never said goodbye, but it was 50 years ago that Kenny's family moved from the house on Lawn Ave in Sellersville, away to ...I didn't know where. We were both 12 years old. I never heard or spoke to him since. But the 5 years before are what I'll cherish as the fondest of childhood memories. mostly because of Kenny.  
We were pals.  We had a clubhouse (chicken coop) and we were king and queen, thrones and all. I sewed GI Joe clothes to match my Barbie's. We swept porches for 10 cents apiece so that we could buy hotdogs at Meinhold's and have a picnic at the playground. He cooked them on a charcoal grill! We played in the neighbor's barn, and caught crawdads and snails in the stream. He taught me how to fish.
In school he sat in front of me until the teacher got tired of us passing notes back and forth. (They were on pink paper????)  At recess, we played Batman and Batgirl with our pink erasers as radio transmitters strapped to our wrists. Penny Jean was our muse. Jackie was the talent show coordinator and sewing person extraordinaire. We did have other friends who  we played with, but I only vaguely remember them. Kenny and I were pals.  But then it would be no more. 
I always thought that maybe we would bump into each other and have the opportunity to take that walk down memory lane to laugh about it all like we always did.  But, the miracle of Facebook helped me to reconnect to Kenny's sisters a few years ago, and that was enough for me. 
I wish you all peace and love in knowing that Kenny touched my life in a way like no other. I cherish the time I got to spend with him as a kid, and wish that everyone could have a Kenny in their lifetime.  God Bless you.  And to you, Kenny, God Speed. 

Pop pop, 
Here are the things Bryson thinks it's important to remember about you ...
- he sometimes cooked on the porch
- he used to be a police officer
- I know he worked really hard
- sometimes he helped Nonni
- he let me play on his boat
- we watched Spongebob and Bob Burger together.
- he answered all my questions unless sometimes he didn't know the answers
- he loved his kit-ten at home when he was a boy and he loved his two kit-ties over here.
Pop pop will always be the best! I miss him!!
Love you Pop pop,
Bryson

Ken, Honey! (I write this with tears running down my face, so wipe them away for me.)
I never thought our love could be more special than what we felt when we first started out. We've experienced together, joys and troubles, it helped to depend our commitment and brought us even closer than before. We've been together a long time. We've laughed and cried, seen each other through our best and worst. We had a history together, full of memories that I will keep so very close to my heart! We will be together again and I miss you so much!! Like everyone said, gone too young!! Say hi to your dad and my dad and mom! Throw the ball to Rocky for me!
Love you, your wife, Ceil "Dove"

It was truly an honor and a blessing to have known and worked with Kenny. Our time together on APD's 5th Platoon and Emergency Response Team always included a smile and a laugh. I will forever remember him that way. RIP my Brother in Blue.

What I know about Kenny is that he spent his lifetime unconditionally loving my sister, Ceil and their sons, Ken and Brad .  He had a quiet sense of humor and worked hard to make a better life for his family.  I am sure he will continue to watch over them. So, Ceil, Ken and Brad, when you have a moment to be still and listen, his voice will be there for you with assurance of his love. 
I know your peace will be in the knowledge of his love that he shared with all of you.
Much love and continued blessings to you all, Carolyn 

Ceil so sorry to hear about Kenny’s  death.  We had a lot of fun times together as teenagers

Ceil sorry to hear about the death of Kenny.  Spent a lot of fun times together as teenagers.  

Kenny was a co-worker of mine at APD.  I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.  He was way too young.  Kenny always made me laugh.  He had a way of doing that you know.  He was one heck of a guy and one heck of a Police Officer.  My condolences and sympathies to Ceil and the family.  Kenny, may you rest in peace.  You will be missed.  

I was a police officer when I Knew Kenny.  He was the kind of person you wanted to be friends with.   He taught me the basics of fly tying and with that, I pursued fly fishing.  There was a time in Cumberland Gardens when he and his canine saved use both.  I will miss Kenny.  

My Uncle Kenny was always the best storyteller in the bunch.  Growing up I loved hearing his stories of the questionable haunting and from his time on the police force.  His sense of humor got me to appreciate Napolean Dynamite and I can still picture him saying "Tina, come get your food you fat lard."  Lol!  The way my mom spoke of her brother,  I knew he was truly one of the best and that she was very very lucky to have him as her brother. Thank you for blessing so many people in your lifetime... I'll miss you Uncle Kenny!

A really good guy gone way to soon.
Kenny and I were hired at the same time and assigned to the first platoon.
We worked cars 1 and 2. One of the very best partners anyone could have.
He will be really missed..

One good guy gone to soon, my sincere condolences to Ceil and the rest of the family. Looking back on how many times our paths have crossed. I have known Kenny  and Ceil since we were teenagers and both families since the 70's. It amazes me how many times our lives have crossed paths, when he worked for Keystone Dodge (on Lehigh St) at the City garage then at APD. No matter what task he took on he always seem to concur it, one smart and talented guy. Sorry to see you go brother was hoping for a better outcome. RIP.

My Cousin......One of the purest kindness souls I ever knew. Kenny helped me get my first car...a Barracuda!!! A sense of humor like no other.  He was a true protector with a heart of gold!!!


My Step Brother…and when all the “Kids” were together he was my “Big Brother”. I too remember the stories he told about his time on the Allentown police force with that wry sense of humor. And how he gave “Rocky” a home after retiring from the K-Nine force. Leaving us too way soon… Although the years have gotten in the way, the memories of what a “good dude” Kenny was will never fade.

I was privilaged to work with Kenny at APD.   One of the most complete people I ever met..... funny, smart, calm in any situation.     Another good one taken way too early.   Thoughts and prayers to the family of this good man.

My big brother, my protector. Sweeter than sweet, (specially when there was just a little to much good beer), he would wrap his arms around you and tell the world how much he loved you.  As a teenager he often asked me if I wanted to ride along for errands, when most would have thought me an annoying little sister:-) In his early days he was a mechanic, and he used to let me wear his greasy work jacket to school... I was so proud and felt so cool. (I'm sure it smelled too, lol!)  Riding on his back down a hill on a sled.... Secretly embroidering "Kick Me" of the backside of his jeans and letting him wear them to school(he laughed about that one!)....These are the memories that keep popping in my head...... Best big brother ever. He was a wonderful man, funny as well, that pointer finger in the air near his face with the delivery of a punchline or a funny story.  That's the picture  of him in my mind.
I love you & miss you always! Til we meet again, sweet brother of mine! 

Kenny Kramer  What a Great Man was He  The Memories all started when we were 15 two boys just having great times From streaking through the Lehigh Parkway That crazy canoe race Slap boxing down in the basement Skipping school on Senior Skip Day You got caught  but I didn’t lol Sorry MoM I lied MoM told me the  school called Kenny’s mom and reported him skipping  was i with No MoM school would have called you too right Got away with that one All the fishing and hunting we did Great Times over the past 47 years Oh and ditch Danny Heaven has a place for you I know. We both accepted Jesus as our Savior in Batisim the very same day So till I see you on the other side my Brother I’ll keep our memories alive in my Heart  R.I.P. Kenny 

When I was a kid, my brother was my hero. He used to be a mechanic and I would say I was going  to marry a mechanic just like my brother one day. And eventually I did! He was also my protector. There was a kid on the bus who used to bully Val and I. We told Kenny and he took care of it. He never would tell us what he did- even years later- but the bullying STOPPED! No wonder he went on to being the best cop ever!!! Kenny- you left too soon but I know you are still looking out over all of your family and friends. We all love and miss you. Always have- always will. ❤️ 
Your baby sister- Vic

My brother, though younger by 17 months was my protector growing up. He told some of the most amusing and hilarious stories from his time served on the Allentown, PA police force. Every hobby or interest he would study and learn about exhaustively and be good at it....fishing, fly tying, grilling & smoking, home brewing. He was an excellent cook too. And that, I will surely miss! 😊 He was generous and well liked, always willing to help out a neighbor and stubborn as all get out too!!! Sweet as can be when tipsy,  really sweet - his true nature.  I've always felt a special bond with him, maybe because we were so close in age. That bond has not been broken even with his passing. I am thankful to have had him in my life on this plane for 62 years and now am looking forward to the next phase of our lives. Thanks Kenny, you rock.

He was my dad, an I loved him. I made sure to tell him that every chance that I got. He taught me so many things. An I have him to thank for showing me how to be a good father to my own son.  I owe everything to him.

R.I.P. Dad :(



Ken and I had met thru our passion about homebrewing and fishing. I will always remember the great times and conversations we had.  You will be missed my friend but we will see us again on the other side of the stars. Thorsten

We are very saddened to hear about Kenny’s passing. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kenny and his family. May he Rest In Peace.🙏

Scott Mitchell 
Retired Assistant Chief of Police
Allentown, Pa.

Ken was my brother in law. We were fishing having the time of our lives that day. This is what I’ll  remember and hold close to me. I will miss you Ken.
