My condolences to the family. I am your cousin Sandi Kachel. Flora Glick's granddaughter and Irene Kachel's daughter. Dyane Robbins (my cousin) called me on Monday January 22nd and informed me of Arny's death. My sympathy goes out to everyone who new him. I haven't seen him in many years, but I do remember when we were all very young and played at the family club meetings.

It is with deep sadness that I write this after learning of Arny's passing. He defined my childhood and the meaning of friendship. Long days of exploring, ball playing, hide-and-seeking, tree-climbing, mud-pie creating, sand-castle building, roof-scaling, vine-swinging, dog chasing, sister-teasing, etc. It was a magical world with a dose of reality mixed in.
There were fun times and difficult times. Most importantly, with the ever-present adventures, there were a lot of learnings along the way. I carry his memory with me at all times and know he will be missed by many, including me.

From a very old friend of the family. Too many memories and stories to tell in one note but the one that stands out....Arny, Roger, (can't remember if Pete was involved) setting fire to the field....unfortunately they were standing in the middle of it! Hmmm. several years off of our mothers' lives!

I will always remember him with a smile and a laugh. (Non-kosher food at our house!)

Love,
Barb Stein Hibnick

Our deepest sympathies to all the Kemp family. Arny was like a brother to me. I've known Arny for about 9 years,since he joined real estate. We had great times together along with 2 other very close friends. They called us the buffet bandits, because we loved to eat at the buffet a lot. I can spend a whole day writing about the funny moments and the hilarious things that came out of Arny's mouth. I'll never forget him, and I'm still in shock over his passing. May God rest his soul.

Abi, Cheri & Family,
Condolences are the hardest of feelings to share, no one will ever really understand what someone feels with the passing of a sibling or father. Arny was a fun guy who made the best (at least from where we saw him) of his very short life.

All our love,

Dorit, Moti Levin & family

I'm extremely sad about your loss. Arnie was an outstanding person and loved by many. I was a High School classmate and fellow Football Team member. If Arnie had stayed on the team, I might never have played. He was a fierce competitor and a good man. Our thoughts are with you in this most sad time.

Please accept our deepest condolences on your loss. Arnie was a good guy, and we remember how he was always in Tom's corner when Tom was in Oak Lawn Little League. May God take him now to coach His team!
