Harold Carl Kemp
1927-2018
It is with profound sadness, mixed with fond
remembrances of a long and fruitful life, the family of Harold Kemp
announce his passing at Ridgewood Veteran’s Hospital on
December 30, 2018.
Harold joined the Army at age 17 to serve his country during
WWII. After his service he started his 35-year career with
CN, starting in the yards and ending in management until his
retirement in 1980. He worked briefly for the Federal
Government’s department of Energy Mines and Resources as an
auditor as well as teaching accounting courses at NBCC,
Moncton.
After his work career ended he found his true calling
“Urban Farmer” as he transformed his small backyard
in the west end of Moncton into his own workshop of fruits, vegetables
and flowers. Anyone who visited got the grand tour and stories of each
and every seed planted with details that were sure to
fascinate! Not to mention the basket you would leave with
full of the best tomatoes you would ever eat.
He was the eldest of six sons, one Charles (JJ) who survives
him. He was predeceased by brothers Billy, Carl, John and James. He is
also predeceased by his wife and soulmate, Frances Gertrude (Murphy)
Kemp, and survived by her children, Brad Palmer and Nancy (Brian)
Daigle as well as his beloved grandchildren Christopher, Sean and
Laura Daigle.
The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the
dedicated health care professionals at the Ridgewood
Veteran’s Hospital and in particular Harold’s care
givers on Liberty Lane. Your kindness, love and compassion for Harold
over the last two years were outstanding and very much appreciated by
the family. He loved each and every one of you.
Arrangements are under the care of
Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint
John, N.B. (634-7424). By Harold’s request
there will be no visitation or funeral service. A private family
service will be held at the grave site. In lieu of flowers, donations
in Harold’s memory may be made to the Romero house. Online
