James Krempa Obituary
Born on November 27, 1945 in Toledo, Ohio, James Joseph Krempa passed from this life into eternity on September 18, 2018 in Boise, Idaho. Jim, a proud US Navy Veteran, found joy in photography, the great outdoors, making people laugh, his dog, and his family. Jim loved his children and grandkids more than anything and enjoyed sharing in their lives. He loved people and you could find him wherever people hung out, always making sure that those he cared about were being taken care of. Jim was a hard worker, creative and enjoyed many years of employment at Delafoil and Brush-Wellman, where he built lasting friendships.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Bernadine Krempa and his brother, Michael Krempa. Jim is survived by his children, Julie Krempa, John (Vicki) Krempa, and Rev. Sharon (Rob) McQueary; and his grandchildren, Shane Krempa, GM2 Andrew Krempa, Eugene Sanders, Jourdyn McQueary, IT3 Nathan Krempa, Bernadine McQueary and Rowan McQueary; as well as his sister, Patricia Helvie, her two sons, Scott and Brian and their families.
