April 26, 1935 — May 25, 2015

Welcome To Reinier "Dutch" Kemeling Legacy & Death Information

First,
"I want all family and friends to know that my life was a great venture that travelled many roads,
Both up and down, but in the end was not only fun, but a great experience as a whole"
Second,
"Leaving Holland and immigrating to America was the greatest experience of my life, but at the same time, the most difficult thing I have ever done was to leave family and friends behind"
Third,
"Serving in the United States Air Force and the camaraderie I learned while serving in France for three years can never be replaced and further gave me the opportunity to get a college education"
Forth,
"The creation of my own successful business from scratch was an opportunity that I was given just because I lived in this great country called America, where everyone with ambition gets a chance", but was unfortunately destroyed by a fraudulent and frivolous lawsuit that placed it in ruins"
Fifth,
One of the great events in my life was meeting my wife Jane, who gave me two wonderful children of my own, while suppplying me with two additional children, for a total of four."
Sixth,
"The game of soccer was a great part of my life and playing or coaching gave me great joy"
Seventh,
"Writing books became one of my great hobbies, but financially has not created a windfall. On the other hand, one realizes, Rembrandt also died poor and gained his glory, after he died in Holland"
Eighth,
"Joining the American Legion has brought a new and interesting perspective into my life such as helping other Veterans and the Community with services that I never even knew existed before"
Nineth,
"In my remaining years, writing with what I think is a sound mind, I have come to realize that family is the greatest thing on earth and all other things, although important, do not matter at all"
Tenth,
"The legacy I leave behind is more important, than the money I don't have to take with me and on this day, I wish that all of you who temporarily remain behind will create a great time on my behalf"
