>Dear CoCo Friends,
>
>I regret to inform you that Brady Dale Kramer, known
>to you as "Elad Remark", was killed on November 12th
>by a "crack" addict for the money in his wallet.  As
>his family, the only solace in this tragedy has been
>the fact that the man was caught and is now behind
>bars and awaiting trial in April, 1994.  At least he
>can no longer victimize other people and their
>families.
>
>Rick wanted some personal information concerning
>Dale and his family and though it is hard to sum up
>a person's life on paper there are many things about
>Dale that may amaze you.

>Dale was one of four children of William and Mary
>Kramer. His sister, Kaye, is 39, his brother, Joe,
>is 30, and his sister, Tracey, is 22.  As you can
>tell the family was quite spread out over a number
>of years but he and his brother and sisters were
>very close.  During childhood Dale had asthma but
>despite this fact went on, in high school, into the
>wrestling team and was quite successful at it.  He
>would have gone to the state championship had it not
>been for a move to another town.  After high school,
>Dale entered the Army and was part of the 101st
>Airborne.  In the service he was a fire-fighter.  He
>was a member of the Disable American Veterans, DAV,
>Chapter 24.  During the last three years he was very
>active in that organization.

>During his life Dale took Tae Kwon Do, was a HAM
>radio operator and attended several Universities,
>colleges, and tech schools. He was very intelligent
>and a great believer in continued education. He also
>felt that public broadcasting stations were a great
>charity and investment for the children (and adults)
>of this country.  Dale held Wastewater Treatment
>Management licenses in three states.
>
>Dale had one son and two daughters whose custody was
>awarded to his ex-wife in a very bitter divorce.  He
>loved his children very much and it was quite a blow
>to him.

>Dale loved fantasy books, such as J.R.R. Tolkien,
>and science fiction.  He enjoyed playing D & D, and
>the "Hypoborean War Campaign" through the mail.  He
>loved Star Trek and was a fan of the NASA program.
>He liked chess, the Miami Dolphins and playing the
>guitar.
>
>He had a great sense of humor and was always joking
>around and into mischief. He liked the three stooges
>and Leslie Nelson films.
>
>We always teased Dale because he lived on ham,
>bologna sandwiches, pizza, and Dr. Pepper.  He did
>not drink or take drugs.  He occasionally smoked a
>pipe.

>He lived in Florida for awhile and we feel that he
>would have returned here some time in the future had
>he lived.  He loved the beach and took to the water
>like the dolphins he loved.

>He wrote short stories and was working on a book at
>the time of his death.

>Above all else he loved the CoCo and all of you at

>programming that he wrote.
