Harold R. Kemp

 (1950-2011)

 

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of one of our founding members, Mr. Harold R. Kemp.   Harold passed away on June 30, 2011, after an extended battle with cancer.

Harold took the role of Counselor-At-Law very seriously and this aspect of his personality made him not only a great lawyer, but also a fantastic employer and friend.   He loved to listen to people and he was truly happy for you when things were well in your life.   He would also willingly offer a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand or sound financial and/or relationship advice if things were not going as planned.   

Harold learned the phrase, “practicing law is like drinking from a fire hose,” from one of his law school professors.   It was his favorite expression and he applied it to everything that he did in life.   He wanted to make every minute of life productive and count towards something.   In other words, he wanted to drink in every drop of life from that fire hose.  

Although Harold’s energy and exuberance is greatly missed by all of us, the foundation of his legacy in the field of domestic relations law lives on in his Partner, Jacqueline Kemp.
