Charles F. Kemp, 76
FELTON — Charles Kemp died on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at Bayhealth-Milford Memorial Hospital. He was the son of the late Carl and Elizabeth Kemp.
Mr. Kemp served his country proudly in the United States Army and was part of the 101st Airborne Division. He worked for over 25 years as a supervisor for Perdue. He was a “chicken man” all of his life, and had also worked briefly for the Swift Poultry Co.
Mr. Kemp loved sitting at his kitchen table and watching all the birds, squirrels, and rabbits playing in his yard, and eating all the food he set out for them. In his younger days, he enjoyed fishing, clamming, and hunting. He enjoyed watching Jeopardy on TV, playing cards, and watching the race horses in Harrington. Mr. Kemp had a special relationship with his nephew Frog, and enjoyed talking to Frog’s parrot for hours, and babysitting his two dogs, when they came to visit. He will be greatly missed.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Betty Kemp.
He is survived by his daughters, Elaine Feyerabend of Harrington and Donna Lee Harrison of Milford; brothers, Doug Kemp of Camden, Eddie Kemp of Harrington and Walter Kemp of Milford; sisters, Eleanor Hall of Dover and Debbie Baker of Milford; nephew and best friend, Clifton “Frog” Wyatt and his girlfriend, Tammy Schley of Felton; seven grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews.
Grave side services will be held Monday, April 14, 2014 at 1:00 PM in Hollywood Cemetery, Harrington. Visitation will be from 12 to 1 p.m. at Melvin Funeral Home, 15522 South DuPont Hwy., Harrington.
