    Hopefully, Kemp is with the love of his life …Sylvia. They are together forever now. The two of them will always be missed.

    Oh, how he will be missed. Kemp was a very loving and fun loving brother. he struggled with cancer of the mouth and throat for over a year and was unable to talk plain
    or to eat anything by mouth. . Kemp is at rest now but he will always be loved and missed by myself and his other family members.
    Rest in peace my Dear Brother Kemp.
