Richard W. (Dick) Kempe - Past Commodore Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, International Judge, International Umpire - passed away on Monday, December 6th after battling cancer for the past four months. Dick will be remembered as a dedicated contributor to the sport of sailing. He became an International Judge in 1989 and one of the first International Umpires in 1991. Sailing was his passion from the moment he joined the Youth Sailing programme at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in the 1950's to his final sailing days on board his beloved "Katimavic' - a classic C&C 40. No doubt many a sailor will have faced Dick in a protest hearing and remember his stern but fair personality and his keen sense of humour. Past Commodore Kempe will be sadly missed by his family, many friends at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and from the sailing fraternity around the world. -- Commodore Peter Shrubb, Royal Bermuda Yacht Club
