It is with great sadness that I inform friends and colleagues of the passing of my dear friend of 46 years, Edward (Ed) Kramer, aged 76 who passed away on Friday 29^th August 2025, at Baulkham Hills, surrounded by his family.

His passing was the result of a his long battle with dementia.

Ed served the people of NSW from 1971 to his retirement (HOD) in 2003.  He was an outstanding leader, mentor, a hard and strong man well respected by those who worked with him.  He was my buddy when I joined the NSWPF in 1979 and we’ve been close mates ever since.

Ed was a husband, father and grandfather and is survived by his dear wife, Barbara, daughters Joanne and Karen and their families.

I am sure that all who knew Ed will join me in sending condolences to his family and friends.

Ed did not want a funeral, following his wishes private arrangements will be made by his family.

It is anticipated that at some point ( to be advised ) there will be a memorial get together.

Kind regards

My deepest condolences to Bruces’ daughters, family and friends.

You were respected and a great bloke to work with on the truck whilst working GDs at Wollongong back in the 1980s.

And you loved your aluminium tea pot.
