Timothy “TK” J. Kramer

Timothy “TK” J. Kramer, 60, of Butler passed away June 7 at his home.

He was born March 8, 1957, in Butler, the son of the late JoAnn Lorenz Kramer.

Timothy had a long career as a hair stylist, owning his own salon and then working for others until a knee injury ended his career. Tim possessed a work ethic that can only be described as that of a workaholic.

TK was a hardworking modest man with a heart of gold. He was quick to help anyone he perceived as less fortunate than himself.

He had recently had a cancer scare that had renewed his hope for the future, determined to live a healthy lifestyle and overcame his breathing difficulties.

TK seldom complained or burdened others as a self reliant individual. His sudden unexpected death came as a shock to his family.

Surviving are two sisters Babs (Mark) Genemore and Anna (Mark) Potwora; one brother Michael Kramer; his beloved aunt Shirley A. Lorenz Zarnick, who became his maternal figure for 44 years; his uncle Bo Lorenz; his cousins Paula Zarnick Snodgrass and Jonie Zarnick, who treated him like a brother; three nephews; one niece; and numerous cousins.
