Louis Kempton Obituary
After completing high school, Louis enlisted in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany. Once he completed his duties, he was honorably discharged and then began a career as a mail carrier in his hometown of Bristol for over 30 years. Louis was a past member of the B.P.O.E. Lodge #1010 of Bristol, and a lifelong member of the Bristol Fish and Game Club where he volunteered at its many events.
As an avid hunter, you could always find him outdoors. Whether it was tending to his garden or traveling to new place with Carol Jean by his side, he was truly happy being outside. Louis loved to be with his friends and family, either playing cards or just hanging out with them. He was always social and sometimes a little flirtatious. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.
Louis is survived by his children, his son Jeffrey Kempton and his wife Lucie of Bangor, PA, and by his daughter, Darlene Cirrito of Bristol. He was "Pa" to Jay Martin and his wife Heather, Kevin Rappleyea of Bristol, Emily Kempton and Brian Kempton both of Bangor, PA. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Gerald Brunetto and his wife Caroline Nicholas-Brunetto of Cromwell, and by his nieces, Debra and Donna, and by his nephew Gregory. He was predeceased by his brother, Willard Jr.
