Paul Leonard Greenwald
Lt. Colonel Irving Monroe Kram and Florence Kram were my Father and Mother in Law. They raised four wonderful children, numerous grand-children and great grand children. I never heard my mother-in-law or father-in-law, my wife Michelle Sandra Kram Greenwald her step brother Richard Kram and step sister Gloria Kram Schwartz-Blitzer-Rie or her sister Wndy Kram ever tell a lie. My mother-in-law was a Camp Winston Girl on Sacket Lake in her youth. Sometimes she wore rose colored glasses like when a co-worker, Carol Johnson, who worked with my wife at General Foods move up to Boston, Mass to be with her boyfriend who work for Hood Diary, Florance said she was engaged. She was raised that way by Papa Benny Levine and Anna Levine. She was a great woman and it is with great sadness that I just now learned of her passing, I will arrange for some one to say kaddish for her for one year at the Temple Israel Center of Wite Plains, NY where the late great Rabbi Turetsky married myself and Michelle Kram. She now reposes in heaven with her parents and her eternal love Irving who died some year ago and was a Lt. Col. in The US ARMY in the Pacific after he graduated from Havard University with an MBA in 1941. He was awarded the Bronze Star and a Purple Hear and had too many great friends to mention. When Irving passed his step son, Richard C. Kram, delivered the finest eulogy to his step father I ever heard. He said of Irving that like a frog in the garden of Eden "he licked the dew in life. They were kind and generous people who gave to charity and of whom I never heard a bad word pass their lips.May they both rest in peace till the resurection of the dead with the Patriarchs and ther wives and all the righteous. If I had learned of my mother-in-laws passing sooner I would have rend my garments and sat sivah as I dead for my mother and father but the Talmud says that when news of a passing comes over 30 days after death that is not done.Paul Leonard GreenwaldWe are all lesser for her passing.
