January 3, 2014 - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
STATEMENT FROM KANSAS CITY MAYOR SLY JAMES:
“I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of R. Crosby Kemper, Jr, a valued member of the Kansas City family who dedicated himself fully to every endeavor he took on – from banking and business to arts and culture. Always a maverick, he showed us that a dose of independence and willpower can often move people and institutions forward more quickly than running with the flock. I always appreciated his engagement in our community and know that our City is better off today because he called it home.
