William Turner Kump

For some reason, I had Bill & Agnes on my mind today. God literally called me to seek Bill´s obit, which I did. I send my condolences to Agnes (if she remembers me) and the entire family. I´m so sorry for your loss. I was very young, but visited Elkins often with my parents, Marcella & Henry Harness. I have vivid memories (because I inherited many Kump qualities! ) of seeing my cousin Bill practice the bagpipes marching around the back yard on High St. I relished every minute of hearing him...

I remember Bill and his bagpipe and his beautiful wife Agnes! Always full of joy and happiness. RIP Bill. I know you will be missed by family and friends

This is a loss of a life well lived. I was a neighbor of the Kumps growing up. Bill was always a leader even in grade school. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As a fellow Highlander, I enjoyed dining several times with Bill and Agnes whe the band performed at the annual Scottish Walk in Alexandria. Once, bidding farewell, I said to him, "I've enjoyed talking to you." Bill responded, "Try saying, 'I've enjoyed talking WITH you,' to avoid implying patronage." I have done so ever since, each time remembering Bill. My sincere condolences to Agnes, Meredith, Kerr, and the rest of Bill's family.

Kerr, I´m so sorry to hear about your brother´s death. You´re in my thoughts and prayers.

My Mom´s big brother. They had a special bond. Uncle Bill was one of a kind! We will miss his amazing stories. He sure could play the pipes! Much love to Aunt Agnes, Cy & Sterling. Love, Rebecca Susan Murphy Bennett

So very sorry Dr Kump on the lose of your father. A life we'll lived ,his last breath here was his first in heaven. God bless you and your family.
