Robin, Darrell, Mary and Aaron,
I had the privilege of working with Darrell twenty years at Ford Sharonville. He was a good man and a great friend. If there was one word to define the type of friend Darrel was it would be loyal. Over the years he shared so many fond memories of your family...I know he loved all of you so much. I will miss Darrell's kind heart and sensistive spirit. May God wrap his arms around you and cradle you in his love.

To the Kemp family, My thoughs and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Darrell (Dee) will truly be missed it was always a pleasure hearing his stories from coaching to his children's accomplishments. He was truly a proud father and thought very highly of his children. He once spoke of his daughter and how she did some thing he would never do - travel to Europe, His son Darrell he called "my cat" he was proud of your job at UC and Aaron he spoke about how he loved the trip seeing the apartment at University of Cincinnati. May God bless you all.
