I’m so sorry to hear of Phil’s passing. Phil was always fun to work and visit with. You all are in my prayers in this difficult time.
I worked with him at Whiteman, it was always nice to visit with him.
Sorry for your loss. Phil and I worked together, for a few of his last years. Although we disagreed on many things I still have a great respect for the man. He will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of our loss, of a such wonderful man. Phil and I worked together at Whiteman, we enjoyed a good conversation together and an occasional beer, at his home. I’m sadden I didn’t get to see him before his passing. I will always cherish our time spent together. Please reach out to me if there is anything I can help with. May God Bless all of you in your time of need.
Leanne and family so sorry to hear of your loss.
Crystal, so sorry for your loss. Let me know if you need anything
I just noticed this sad news today that my cousin Phillip Cramer just passed away. With great respect for his family and his friends, I am so very sorry for your loss and I pray to the Lord my God that he will comfort you in your moments of sorrow. I will alway remember that day in 1977 when my aunt Shirley Luallen Gray dropped Phillip off at my house in 1977 to take him down to be with his Grandfather Clarence (Dock) Luallen for a hunting trip stayover at his home in Salisbury Missouri. We all had a great time together with Dock telling us about his life when he was younger and all of his hunting trips.
Remember that those that we loved just don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. My love for my aunt Shirley Luallen never went away, she was my idol when I was a kid and to this day her memories still live on within me. God lives within me and walks with me everyday and I know that God won’t ever leave me nor forsake me, that’s his promise. With my prayers for you today, I ask that there will be peace and comfort in your hearts today for the loss Phillip Cramer, for we were family at one time and all his memories we shared together, God bless you, Danny Kruse.
Phillip was my cousin. My dad, Kenneth, was Shirley’s brother.
Although I didn’t know Phillip as an adult, I clearly remember the time we spent together as children. Phillip and Stephanie lived with our family in Arkansas for several months. I adored Phillip and that precious mischievous grin on his little boy face.
I am heart broken to hear that he lost his life at such a young age. His obituary enabled me to believe he lived a joyful life. I’m grateful for those who loved the grown up Phillip as I loved the little boy. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry this is so late. I’m still in shock that my friend is gone. Phil and I worked together at Sioux Chief. Phil was always so nice to me since the day I met him. He was my favorite person there because he was the realest, he didn’t pull any punches. I really enjoyed the few times I got to learn from him while watching over his shoulder. He’d always know what to say no matter what was going on. I’m so sorry for your loss. The world lost a great man. Thank you for sharing him with us and blessing us with time with him. God bless
