Roger Leroy Cram was born August 13, 1942, in Oakland, Nebraska, to Clyde E. and Ethyl Mary (Miller) Cram. Roger passed away at the Rehab Center, in Omaha, NE, on Monday, January 28, 2013 at the age of 70 years, 5 months, and 15 days.

Roger had many important people in his life - three children Chad, Deanne, and Douglas, long-time partner Debi Robison, grandchildren and brother Phillip.. Roger worked as a Carpenter, but loved to tinker on anything. Foreign cars were a love of his. He enjoyed fixing them up, playing with them, then selling and finding another foreign car to start the process over. Roger's green house showed how much he loved to grow both flowers and vegetables. He enjoyed building outdoor ponds.

Roger is survived by his significant other Debi Robison, of South Bend, Nebraska, son Chad Cram, of Ashland, Nebraska, Deanne and husband Michael O' Flaherty, of Omaha, Nebraska, Douglas and wife Jennifer Cram, of Calamus Iowa, 9 grandchildren, and brother Phillip Cram, of Omaha, Nebraska.
