I just googled Mr. Kemp, Bountiful Utah hoping to somehow contact him and thank him for the blessing he has been in my life. Unfortunately, tomorrow marks a year to the day that his funeral took place.
Mr. Kemp was my 6th grade teacher at Bountiful Elementary School in 1968. He was an amazing teacher that changed my life forever! He believed in me and taught me that I could excel in whatever I did! He would usually start the day by talking about the latest news and current events. I believe my lifelong interest in news and history were first initiated by Mr. Kemp. I can't help but think of the difference he made over the years in the lives of hundreds if not thousands of the young people he taught! What an amazing legacy!

Our condolences to your family. We were fortunate enough to have Mr. and Mrs Kemp for next door neighbors for over 20 years. He was such a kind man, always offering to help at any time. I really miss the small talk over the fence. We are thinking of you all and just wanted you to know how much he meant to us.
Love
Andy , Kim Madison and Garrett

Mr. Kemp was my 6th grade teacher at Bountiful Elementary School. He was so kind to me, as that was the year my mother passed away. I will never forget that kindness and love.
My love and prayers are with each of you at this difficult time-please know I thought so much of and loved your father, grandfather and brother for his kindness and caring during a very difficult time in my life. May you be blessed with comfort and peace.
