William Eugene Kemp

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, William Kemp. We are thankful for his military service and proud to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C. on April 21, 2012

Sorry to hear of the passing of Bill, he was the brother of my step grandfather Chuck (Charles) Kemp. I met Bill a few times in passing over the yrs. He sounded like a very kind and caring person. He seemed to enjoyed doing the meals on wheels. I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to all his family and friends.

So very sorry to hear of this. Arnie and I send our heartfelt condolences to the Kemps, and especially love to Joe and Dan and their families. You are in our prayers. ~Arnie and Kim Merkle~

Bill was a very gentle and loving man who adored his family and friends. I became his pen pal almost 40 years ago writing to each other a few times every year to keep in touch . He was always interested in local sports of his home town in Pa. Bill loved to entertain people with his wonderful singing making many smile and even tear with his wonderful old songs . He made the trip back east to Pa to see his sister Gloria a few years ago and it was such a wonderful visit because I again got to see my good old pen pal once again! I loved that guy , he was always encouraging and up beat. I know he is at peace now with the love of his life Trudy. My heartfelt sympathy to his family , Jill

I have just learned of this and am a ball of tears. Bill was my god father and the best man ever, the person you wanted to model yourself after. He always brought a smile to my face, rest in peace Bill, you were loved by all you touched.
