Arlan Bruce Cram was born November 15, 1953 at Montevideo, MN the son of Harold and Louise (Johnson) Cram. He lived most of his life in St. Paul where he attended Groveland Park Elementary School and later Highland Park Schools. Arlan was united in marriage with Peggy Dunn December 10, 1983 and to this union was born a son, David. He was united in marriage with Jan Rosenberger October 15, 1989 and to this union were born two sons: Johnny and Jimmy. Most of his working life was spent as a machine operator, however he much preferred to be the “house mom” and stay home taking care of the children. He was a wonderful chef and could whip up a large delicious meal in no time - but he did not “do dishes”. Arlan was a big person with a big heart. He never had much, but would share whatever he did have. He enjoyed being a friend to everyone.
He is survived by his three sons: David Cram of Grant’s Pass, OR, Johnny Cram of Montevideo, MN and Jimmy Cram of Fergus Falls, MN; 3 grandchildren and 1 more on the way; his mother, Louise Cram of St. Paul, MN; his step-mother, Carol Cram of Burnsville, MN; two brothers: Calvin Cram and Ronald Cram of St. Paul, MN; a sister, Wanda Fischer of Corpus Chrisit, TX; and several nieces and nephews.
Preceding him in death were his grandparents and his father.
