To the Kempler Family When I was a little girl, circa 1950s, my grandmother Anna Suray took me across Orchard Street to Kempler’s for a special treat of ice cream or popsicles. Either Joe Kempler or son Sigmund would ring up our purchase, always so polite and respectful to my “Baba”. It is with much sadness to hear of your loss. I graduated high school with Pearl. With deepest sympathy.
