I'm Betty's cousin in California sending loving thoughts to all the family. I visited them 63 years ago and loved Jimmy. What a wonderful man. He was so kind to me and we all had lots of fun together. Jimmy may you have great seas now and the best boat ever. Charlotte Gragg

To Jennifer, Jay and the Kempe family,
Jimmy was loved and admired by so many! His legacy as an Olympian sailor and excellent silversmith will shine on! His silver work graces the KBB President's Award. As a member of the Junior Chamber (Jay Cees), Jimmy ran Bermuda's first cleanup initiative in 1956 called "Clean Up Paint Up". Fair winds and following seas my friend.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Jimmy Kempe's family. Jimmy was a true 'son of the soil' and of the ocean ! His contributions to sailing in Bermuda will be a big part of his legacy. May he RIP with his beloved Betty - and with his yachting mates.
