Leroy Kramer Jr. ’37

LeRoy died June 2, 2004, at his home in Harbor Springs, Mich.

Roy came to Princeton from Lawrence-ville. He left after freshman year to become city freight agent and vice president of Motor Sport of Chicago. He served four years during World War II in the Naval Reserve and retired as a lieutenant commander.

Roy's work and hobbies involved various modes of transportation: He was an executive with General American Transportation Corp., a life member of the Sports Car Club of America, and a member of the Great Lakes Cruising Club and the Society of Island Goats, having sailed in more than 25 Chicago-to-Mackinac races.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Elizabeth Gillespie; daughter Margaret Kramer; sons Le Roy III and Frederick; six grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter.

Our sympathies to all on the loss of our interesting classmate.
