What a presence this great man had. I was lucky enough to know A.J. and get to see his upbeat personality on a regular basis. What a loss you must all feel. A.j. will br greatly missed. My prayers for peace during this time, in Jesus name. Proverbs 3:5-6

Sandra, I am so sorry to get this information of your loss. I wish my condolences and the best for you and family. It has been so long since I spent summers with your Kemp Family, farming in Oklahoma. I have always regretted that I did not maintain a relationship with all of you, but my life has taken me many places.
I have added "A.J." passing to our England Family in America book.
