I will forever be grateful for knowing Rich. I have struggled with not being able to see him, particularly since moving back to Hull in the last year. To help cope with the grief, I learned this and play it nearly every day. I am not a musician as you can tell, but this has helped in some way. I hope by sharing it can inspire people in other ways to cope with losing someone. I would say do something in their memory and be thankful that you knew them and were able to share good times.

Well done mate, nice tribute - the board lost a nice guy when we lost Kemps.

That we did.

Rich would have turned 60 today.

Thoughts are with you pal.

Oddly I was just thinking about Rich yesterday, and how big a miss his perma-jovial attitude has been from the forum.

Great guy, sadly missed on here.

Great guy, sadly missed on here.

Absolutely, my thoughts also. Often think about him, & what his response would be to some posts on here, feel like I’ve lost a friend, in reality never met Kemps, such was his impact, so friendly, welcoming, supportive & humorous/witty. Let’s have a great result on Saturday for Kemps. Here’s hoping. UTT.

All the best Kemps. I'll raise a glass to you tonight.

To absent friends.....

Was going to post about Rich's 60th birthday today.

I miss our chats at work about music, guitars and the hum drum of life.

For what it's worth I think he'd find this thread quite embarrassing.

He was generally a quite and unassuming person.

I miss him a lot
We never met in real life
Arranged to a couple of times and it just didn’t happen
And I so wish we had

Only just reading this as had a lot going on again. RIP, definitely seemed like a really decent guy. Terrible news.

A lovely tribute RIP Kemps.

We we got our wish with the result. Your words HT are so true. It's obvious by this thread alone he will never be forgotten.

Went to see Paul Weller on Thursday night at Connexin Live.

Not only a bucket list gig, but it's Rich's favourite artist.

So I thought a lot of Rich in that gig. Especially in the song Wildwood because me and Rich had chatted on how easily it was to play on guitar. Fond memories
