Bryan Paul Schramm
1924-2012

Longtime Nice resident and business owner, Bryan Schramm, passed peacefully Sept. 13, 2012.

He was born in Los Angeles to Paul and Harriet Schramm, where he grew up with his sister, Mary.

He was senior class president and went into the Navy post graduation. Upon returning home, he married his high school sweetheart, Carol Stetson. They raised their three children in Arcadia and Costa Mesa where he worked as a PBX Installer for AT&T.

Shortly after retirement they moved to Clear Lake and owned the Sand Piper Resort, followed by Nice True Value Hardware which they ran with their son Richard until its closing.

Bryan’s interests in community were many, from the Lions and Elks clubs, Volunteer Fire Department, politics and foremost, auto racing with his family.

In 1990, he and Carol became part-time Maui residents to be close to family there. He loved being at his oceanfront condo, watching the surfers from his lanai.

Bryan was preceded in death by his daughter, Janet.

He is survived by his wife, Carol; son, Richard (Rita); daughter, Carol (Randy); sister, Mary; grandchildren, Sara, Sheena, Richard, Wylie, Don and Errol; and six great-grandchildren.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to the loving staff at Rocky Point Care Facility, Sutter Lakeside Hospital and doctors Maes, Scheidemann and McQuaid.

A celebration of his life with family will take place at a later date to be determined.

Regards may be sent to the family in c/o Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary, 1625 N. High St., Lakeport CA 95453.

Meke Aloha, Pop ...
