Obituary of Frank Alfred Kemp

Frank Alfred Kemp born in London, England November 17th 1927, passed away peacefully at Maple Ridge Hospital on January 12th 2022 surrounded by family.

 

Frank was predeceased by the love of his life Mary, who he was married to for 65 years, and his son Kevin.

 

Survived by daughters Lynn (Roberto), Nicola (John), and Francesca (Alan). He will be greatly missed by grandchildren, Christopher (Chaiki), Crystal (Scott), Melissa (Darrin), Ashlee, Ryan, Torin and Jacob, and great grandchildren, Landon and Evan.

 

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend to many.

 

Dad’s second love was his love of cranes, that took him around the globe, where he built relationships and friendships with many.  From Africa to Czechoslovakia to Iran to Alabama, Dad loved to travel and meet people. He even worked until the age of 93 consulting, a true testament for working at something that he loved.

 

Frank was a true gentleman that was kind and compassionate and had the ability to make friends wherever he went.  He will be greatly remembered for his sense of humour, even up until his last days.

 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
