James Kempf

When I first met Jim I was 19 years old and a Bloomington kid that was in college and engaged to Terri Fox which where Jim and Carol friends Cliff and Carol Fox. One day at church he asked me if I would like tickets to a North Star game.

We went to the game and the Stars won!...

I'm so very sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I have always had so much respect for him and he helped me with a number of legal issues over the years. He was a good man.

Church council retreats were a time that I got to have alot of one on one conversations with Jim in which his sage advise was always very useful and helpful.

Auntie Carol, Anita, Doug, Rick:
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. Thinking of you all at such a sad time.
