What's Happening in Unit 225
In Memoriam
Charles R Kemp
12/18/1930 - 1/18/2021
Longview DBC lost one of its finest and most faithful players on 1/18, with the passing of Charlie Kemp at the age of 91.
Charlie was a financial advisor for 51 years with Principal Financial Securities & Wells Fargo Advisors. Charlie worked into his mid-80s before retiring in 2016.
Upon his retirement, he and Margie, his wife and bridge partner of 68 years, were regulars at the Longview DBC playing three times a week. They also played occasionally at the Tyler Rose City DBC on Fridays, the monthly Unit 225 games, at the Lake Cypress Wine & Cheese, and local tournaments.
A fierce competitor, Charlie will posthumously be the recipient of the Ace of Clubs award for Unit 225 for 2020 in the 500-1000 masterpoint category.
Charlie took great pride in the fact that he and Margie had been bridge partners for the better part of seven decades. He was a gentleman at the table and away from it. He was a truly generous benefactor for LDBC and spearheaded the fund to purchase its dealing machine.
Charlie will be dearly missed at the club. Any time his fellow players look at the coffee pot, they will be reminded of Charlie who did love his coffee! RIP our friend!
