Our Condolences: Emory Kemp

OLLI wishes to express our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Emory Kemp, who passed away on Monday, January 20, at Ruby Memorial Hospital from heart failure.

He is survived by his wife, Janet Kemp; his children, Mark Kemp, Geoffrey Kemp and Alison (Edward) Anderson; his grandchildren, Paul Anderson, Colin, Mairwyn and Sayward Kemp and Adrienne, Max and Josie Kemp-Rye; and a cousin John (Martha) Kemp.

Emory donated his body to the WVU School of Medicine through the Human Gift Registry. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 2 p.m. at Wesley United Methodist Church, 503 North High St., Morgantown.

Emory donated his papers to the WVU West Virginia and Regional History Center so that others may continue his work studying historic engineering structures. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the WVU Foundation, P.O. Box 1650, Morgantown, WV 26507-1650 for the Dr. Emory L. Kemp History of Technology Endowment Fund, which he and Janet established in conjunction with the donation of his papers. Donations may also be made to that fund online at https://secure.give.wvu.edu/other. Please note the fund number of 3L526 as part of your donation. Donations to your favorite charity are also appreciated.
