Ken was born on April 26, 1924 in Dubuque, Iowa, the son of William and Tillie (Manders) Kemp. He was a veteran of WWII serving in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. On November 11, 1946, Ken married Doris Kraus at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Farley, Iowa. They managed the Dubuque Shooting Society for 30 years, retiring in 1986. Three years later, Ken and Doris moved to Ft. Myers, Florida where they enjoyed walking, going to the beach and golfing. Ken enjoyed watching any sport on T.V. that used a ball and especially loved watching his youngest grandchildren participating in sporting events. He was an avid Chicago Cubs fan.
Surviving are his two sons, Jim (Sue) Kemp of Estero, FL and Tom (Carla) Kemp of Dubuque, IA; his grandchildren Kelly (Joe) Roth and Kerry (Jim) Griffin both of Downers Grove, IL, Karla Bridgeman of Hugo, MN, Tim (Brandy) Kemp of Chicago, IL, Loren (Jeanne) Kemp of Clarendon Hills, IL, Amy (Josh) Printz and Bradley (fiancé’ Caitlyn Crawford) Kemp both of Dubuque, IA; step-grandchildren Kelly (Michele) Mudge of Ankeny, IA and Amy (Bob) Larson of Farmington Hills, MI; 17 great grandchildren; his brother Bob (Marlene) Chapman of Dubuque, IA; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Jim (Sue) Kraus and Irene (Larry) Scherrman both of Farley, IA, Mary Westermeyer of Dyersville, IA and Betty Kraus of Dubuque, IA.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Doris on May 16, 2004; his parents William and Tillie Kemp; his stepfather Robert Chapman Sr.; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Bill Kraus, Carlton Westermeyer, Phyllis Kraus, Ralph (Liz) Kraus and Melita (Harry) O’Neill.
The Kemp family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ken’s special friends at the Woodlands, the nurses and staffs at Ennoble Manor and Medical Associates, Dr. Thomas Sinsky and Hospice of Dubuque.
