I would often run into Rudy at places like Canadian Tire, Superstore, but most often the Chiropractor where we could both enjoy a nice chat and catch up on things; always friendly and cheerful, always felt lifted up for seeing him. Rudy will be missed and I look forward to seeing him again in his glorified body. Till we meet again, rest in peace my friend.

Well the Kempin family have alwats occupied a special place in my heart and that heart goes out to this amazing family with a work ethic that defies description, kindness that is over the top, and the wackiest sense of humour in the world. Condolences to all of you, the ones I know and the ones who are Kempin connected that I dont. BLESSINGS!!! Rest easy, Rudy.

What a touching tribute to a kind-hearted man. Many a good time was spent with the Kempin family. I'm so grateful that I was welcomed with open arms and had a chance to know Rudy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Susan & family

My sincere condolences to you Susan & your family. I will always remember him smiling & friendly. He left this earth exactly 1 month from when my mom left. The heavenly reunion with so many that have gone before us must have been amazing!! ❤️ Hugs.

My condolences to Tasha and her family. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I've known Rudy most of my life. Such a wonderful example of working hard. His smile stands out the most. I can't remember seeing him not smiling. He served me my 1st drink(alcoholic) after I turned 18. RIP. Until we meet again.

I met Rudy only 5 yrs ago. The daughter he didn't know he had. He welcomed me to your family with a huge hug and an open heart ❤️. I will be forever grateful for the short time we had and the special memories we made. such a kind soft spoken gentle soul. Rudy you will never be forgotten, always in my heart

To the entire Kempin family I am so sorry for your loss.

Rudy gave me my first opportunity in drywall trade.
Just a 18 years old.

Young men, sure can struggle, when a path is not clear for them. Yet, the struggle is part of what makes them who they are, who they will become.
Rudy, as did my dad, saw a lot of potential through my struggles back then...

On a Sunday evening, February 12, 1984. Rudy said “Yes”… And from that day forward, I knew I had a mentor.

He was a such good man.

Humble. Kind.
He taught me life lessons that were so important.
Frankly the fact that he gave me a chance was God’s providence.

I feel a bit emotional about all this.
It is a sad part of a man’s life to see a mentor, a friend, a genuinely good man pass.

People are put in our lives for a reason. If we have room for them and an open mind and open heart to learn from them we receive the gift that was intended.

Rudy gave me that gift and it was beautiful.

Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Winnie the Pooh said: “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

I still remember how welcoming Uncle Rudy was when I first became part of your wonderful family. He always had a big smile and a joke. I will miss him at family gatherings.

That beautiful smile and sparkling eyes as we shared some joke or story over the years. Big teddy bear of a man and like an extra Uncle to many with care and generosity and teasing about football teams and so much more - thanks Rudy for being such a wonderful part of all of our lives. 💖

Likeable friendly guy, gone too soon. Many fond memories of times spent with him. Fellow boy scouts leader, camping, hunting and many more. Condolences to the family at this trying time. Rest in Peace till we meet again.
