Earl S. Gramza of Fox Lake IL., age 70, U.S. Navy Veteran, craftsman, husband and father of three, lost his battle with cancer (F*ck Cancer!) and died in the comfort of his home on November 22, 2022. He's missed by his beloved wife of almost 40 years (Dec. 4th), Theresa Gramza, who selflessly cared for him throughout his battle.  He's missed by the apple of his eye, his beautiful daughter, Amy Gramza, and his step-kids who he raised as his own, Walter and Ladena Reyes.  He is also missed by his adoring grand-babies, Nisarria (20), Sonya (18), Delila (15) of Jay Castellanos and Ladena Reyes, Kylie Reyes of Wally Reyes.

For those lucky enough to be in his tight-knit circle, he humored us with antics that, had he been discovered, would have granted him "the funniest man alive" status. He's going to be so missed, we love you with all our hearts. Go make the angels laugh and kiss buddy for mom.
