KRAEMER, WILLIAM LEWIS Age 62, of Albuquerque, NM died on June 30, 2013 in Bucharest, Romania due to complications of a compromised immune system.

In the words of his favorite musician, Bob Dylan, "Death is not the end." He lives in the love that he gave to each person in his life. He treated all people fairly and lived without judgment. He loved music - traveling all over the world to see his favorite performers - the biggest one being Bob Dylan. He played "Kraemer volleyball" every Sunday with his family for 57 years! He was Santa Claus to many Albuquerque children. Bill worked in land use and development for over 30 years, helping developers and regular folks navigate City and County regulations. He was a passionate neighborhood activist, always helping to negotiate endless details. With whatever Bill participated in, he was thoughtful, challenging, and followed through.
