DENNIS – Millard G. Cramp, 86, of Dennis died on Tuesday, July 15, 2014.
Throughout his life, including the last decade that he lived with dementia, Millard lived happily and fully, engaging everyone he met. He was a brilliant man, sweet and giving to everyone in his circle, including his attendants and visitors at the hospital, right up to his last breath.
Born on December 4, 1927, Millard was the son of the late Almon Millard and Hester Agnes (Quinn) Cramp. He graduated with highest honors from LaSalle Institute in Troy, NY.
After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and proudly served until he was honorably discharged on September 11, 1947. He then went on to earn his Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1951 and his Masters in Electrical Engineering in 1959 from Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.
