                        Monday, October 7, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Irwin Joseph 
(Jim) Kramer on his 80th birthday. There are many ways to serve your 
fellow man, whether it by through service to one's country, advancing 
knowledge in a scientific field or by becoming a community leader, and 
I applaud Mr. Kramer for his great achievements in all of these areas.
   Originally from Brooklyn, and a graduate of Brooklyn College, Mr. 
Kramer joined the United States Air Force and served in the Korean War. 
His military career eventually brought him to Newfoundland, Canada 
where he served as a meteorologist.
   Mr. Kramer also demonstrated great dedication to the Aurora 
community after moving and settling down in Colorado. In addition to 
serving on the board of the Danbury Park Home owners Association, he 
served on the board of Aurora Mental Health Center and volunteered many 
hours of this time to the Aurora Mental Health Center. Improving the 
lives of his friends, family, and even strangers is the cornerstone to 
his legacy.
   Mr. Kramer currently resides happily in Aurora, Colorado with his 
wife Barbara. He has 3 sons, 3 step sons, 5 daughters in law and 11 
grandchildren.
